I have always suspected the real issue is that the manufacturer wants to sell all new plastic craptastic lenses rather than include the necessary linkages to use old lenses on the new digital bodies.
And until recently, you could sell a junk lens too, the sensor resolution was so low a high resolution lens was wasted. I've never seen any real research that indicates the light path direction issue is in fact something anyone would care about. Annoys me endlessly as I have a wide assortment of decent to excellent Olympus OM lenses that are now digital orphans. Pen F stuff is hot though, as they adapt to the 4/3 cameras very easily, so with the effort of manual exposure and focus you get absolutely superb lenses for cheap. _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
