Lenses: Cost = Quality ?

The answer is "Not Necessarily".
Camera lenses cost from a few pence to tens of thousands of dollars, but all do basically the same job of making an image on the film or sensor. You can even take pictures without a lens using a pinhole camera.

Some high-budget advertising campaigns have been shot this way, using large sheet film, giving results you would never guess came from a pinhole (in some cases the client didn't either.) At least one photographer has won an advertising award with an image literally taken using the bottom from a bottle. If you have the creativity you can work in many different ways. However in general, expensive lenses are likely to produce higher quality results.
