Yes, but at what price? You could never reach the same resolution as on film. That's not what *I* expect from digital. I expect an advantage to convince me to switch, not a disadvantage. > > - Even if the maximum aperture is larger (say f2) in digital > use the system could limit it to be smaller (e.g. f2.8) in > film bodies.

Again, when I can't have the larger aperture, I can't have the shallow DOF. Ok, I could alter it digitally, but then I could use Corel Draw to draw the entire image and save the money I would have to invest into digital :-) This is not *photo*graphy anymore (painting with *light*), we should call it "computerography" or something like that. ;-) However, as another member pointed out, the discussion is probably unnecessary, at least the thickness problem doesn't seem to exist. And they'll probably solve the angle problem some day.
