Indeed! "The point is, ladies and gentleman, that speed -- for lack of a better word -- is good. Speed is right. Speed works. Speed clarifies, cuts through, and captures the essence of light. Speed, in all of its forms –- honkin' big apertures, front elements the size of pie plates, glass that weighs, and costs, as much as a small car -- has marked the upward surge of enablement. And Speed -- you mark my words -- will not only let you cut depth of field down to hair-thin breadth, it will make your viewfinder so bright you'll be able to read prescription medicine ad disclaimers in a coal cellar by the light of an LED wristwatch. Thank you very much." -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
