Hmmm... I believe digital photography is basically the same as photographing with film. The overall technology is the same: A lens is covering an adjustable opening in a small, dark chamber (=camera), in which a light sensitive reciever/perceptor/recorder is placed for the purpose of recording and storing an image, which is "drawn" by the lens, in a (short) period of time. How the recording device is made does not change the basic principals of photography IMO. As far as Pentax is concerned (this is a Pentax user mailing list) - well Pentax does not provide/make the sensors anyway. Most Petnax lenses are suitable for both film and CCD sensors (and others) anyway.
I believe I'll (continue to) choose my "sensor type" depending on the job, the available time frame etc. All the best Jens Bladt mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://hjem.get2net.dk/bladt -----Oprindelig meddelelse----- Fra: Rebekah Gonzalez [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sendt: 28. november 2004 18:46 Til: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Emne: Pentax Samurai Hey you guys, just thought I would toss out one my random and rather infrequent posts, have fun :o) Just for starters, so you know what I am talking about, in the movie The Last Samurai, Japan is going through its industrial revolution but the Samurai think it is a bad idea to have so much technology because everyone is forsaking the old traditional values of honor. Therefore, I think that all of us here on the Pentax discussion list who refuse to switch over to the digital world should call ourselves the Pentax Samurai, because we still believe in the old ways of true art and honor. If you agree with me I think it would be AWESOME if you put Pentax Samurai at the bottom of your emails as a signature. Just a thought. rg2 *a day without sunshine is like, you know, night* *PENTAX SAMURAI*
