I simply dont agree on this. Times have changed since the 70's when SLRS were MAINSTREAM cameras, as AF point and shooters nearly completely took over the mainstream camera market in the 80's.

Whatever, well at least that's my opinion of the matter, jco

As time goes on, I find myself using fewer and fewer lenses again. I was pretty happy with just the three lenses I carried to the UK this year, have a very high percentage of keepers with just the DA21, FA35 and FA77. And more than half of what I took were taken with the DA21...
