I thought for a moment that the original poster was telling me that an f/2.6 lens in a digital camera was equal to an f/1. lens in 35mm format.
On another note, I own a Dimage 7 but still get more enjoyment out of my 6x9 totally mechanical beasts. Photography hasn't been so much fun since my original all manual 35mm cameras.

Focal length. f/l, not f/1. :)The term "focal length," at least according to my standard references (_The Focal Encyclopedia of Photography_ and _The ICP Encyclopedia of Photography_), should not be abbreviated. Its symbol is � (stylized or italic f, in case it doesn't come through ascii) in optical formulae (cf. Sidney Ray, _Applied Photographic Optics_). Certainly the woeful "f/l" should NOT be used, as it is almost certain to cause confusion. --Mike
