So I’m wondering if the cheap SLR lenses are just crap compared to good SLR lenses or if they are crap compared to point and shoot lenses as well.

Also, what would be the cheapest Nikon (Nikkor, Tarmon, Sigma…) lens is that will outperform the best point and shoot lenses like Sony’s Carl Zeiss and Panasonic’s Leica.

I have read conflicting statements on cleaning the sensor and mirror; some say it is not as difficult as it is made out to be.
