I think it's easy to get sucked into the whole sharp/unsharp/noisy/clean vortex. I'm obsessed about sharpness these days. Not sure why :)

| I prioritize a "quality image" over image quality ... subject and composition are much more important than perfect focus or exposure. |

Thanks. I messed up when I edited to add the title of the article. That's what happens when I post from my phone. I've fixed the original now.

I will admit to being a technical perfectionist at times. Well, most times, LOL.
I think that the linked blog post is a bit misleading. I dislike characterization of good glass as "clinical." That said, there are definitely situations that call for a lens that in some respects would be regarded as less than ideal. I own a Zeiss Biotar 75/1.5 and the reason I do is the beautiful character of the images it makes. It is not optically in the same class as, say, a Canon 85 L. It doesn't need to be. In fact, it is amazing to me that a lens that was designed pre-WWII, and (in the case of my copy) was produced the year before I was born can perform so beautifully on a modern 30Mpx camera. I actually would love to see how it performs on a modern mirrorless camera, and will definitely get that chance eventually.
ETA: corrected the typo in the thread title...
