Re: lenses for digital

[Andre Langevin]

I (it was not Juey Chong) assumed that if a symphonic orchestra was 
playing in front of a crowd, photographers were probably not allowed 
to move all around.  They also might have wanted to have a group of 
musicians on one shot and one musician on another shot, hence the 
zoom.

But the thread started as How come Pentax *istD is louder than Canon 
stuff used by other photographers, and how can we lower its noise. 
Of course a Leica is better on this aspect, but it might not fit the 
bill for other reasons.

How come we ended in this "Lenses for digital" thread?

But there is, on this list, and in the field of photography
in general, a heavy reliance on the blunderbuss style of
photography ... and that's just fine if it works for you.
Maybe you need a big zoom from where you're situated, but
maybe you can get closer, too.

 Or 2.8 primes like the 300 or 400.  Leica rangefinder is not a real
 option if that's what you need.  Leica SLR might be IF it is quiet
 and IF you've got an awful lot of money, and you don't mind not
 having AF.
