I did actually get an APS once, but when I saw the grain from the tny neg I woke up to the stupidity of it all... This was just the gadgetman in me gone crazy and not seeing the marketing hype for what it was. The different framings was just a waste (not that this was my interest) and I could get a camera just as small in the mju ii - in 35mm!! For �75 I got a camera which takes better pictures than a �800 digicam - albeit without a zoom lens. > -----Original Message----- > From: Bill Owens [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: 20 January 2003 14:25 > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: Mike Johnson's Sunday > > > >In fact, virtually the only film size that could be said to be either > "designed" or > > "evolved" is the least popular--APS--and it was designed to > meet the > > existing usage parameters of the lowest common denominator > consumers. > > I sometimes wonder if APS had been designed with 35mm, rather > than 24mm, in mind if it would not have been more successful? > > Bill > > >
