If ALL other factors are held constant it is. But that includes film
type, camera support/steadiness, shutter speed, focusing screen,
contrast of the subject, accuracy of focus, movement of the subject and
perhaps a slew of other things I can't think of.

Hum, you wouldn't ask that if you believe that the lens tells all.
There are to many different cameras, both modern and classic, and too
many different lenses to be able to answer this. Narrow the focus to one
camera and one lens vs. one camera and one lens and we'll probably know
the answer or be able to point you to objective data that will PARTLY
answer that question for you.
