Vieux loup is french, and is using a french term/saying as if it was english. That that word in a totally other context also is used in english, does not mean that that is what vieux loup was referring to.
I am not french, nor is my french very good at all (almost non-existent), but I can gather that it means (in this context) "peak", meaning that the lens shows high resolution through the entire focal range.

No, I actually meant expound: http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/expound
I gather it's a positive quality, but is it an overall goodness, general sharpness, being free from artifacts, smoothness? I'd like to know the connotations.
