I'd much prefer to save the money and spend it on a good 36mm x 24mm digital body. I would need more then one W/A lens or a very good zoom to replace 24mm, 28mm and 35mm lenses not to mention 17mm rectilinear and 16mm Fisheye that I also use from time to time. The current trend for not putting the aperture ring on the lens really isn't to my taste either, it worked perfectly on the well for years, it's the logical place to control the diaphragm from. If it isn't broke don't fix it! > I don't consider myself "stuck" with this size sensor. Nor me because I refuse to buy one :) John ---------- Original Message ----------- From: Godfrey DiGiorgi <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [email protected] Sent: Mon, 24 Jan 2005 16:03:43 -0800 (PST) Subject: Re: Pentax 50mm News > --- John Whittingham <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Will it ever happen or will we be stuck with the present > > format, I'm not going digital until I know one way or the > other. > > What's the big deal?
