Any good lens is more capable than the sensor in the *ist D/s bodies. I have a half a dozen lenses that you can really only differentiate by AOV, on film however some of these same lenses are obviously sharper than others. And as soon as virtually any set of lenses are compared stopped down to f5.6 then usually only global contrast will differentiate them.
