Hi, Cotty, ...and the rest of the lot...
Only been gone from the list for a week and a half, and so much have happened. Cool! ----- Original Message ----- From: "Cotty" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > In the past, glass choice was pretty paramount.

After all, they do a whole lot more processing of the raw data than the film cameras can. But I don't follow you on the digital cameras taking over for the lenses. The recorded light still fall through the glass, and eg. Schneider Optics claim that lens quality is more important than ever with digital. Buying even a relatively cheap DSLR is such an investment that it seems pretty wasted to top it off with ultra-cheap consumer grade lenses. well my two pennies worth anyway... Jostein
