Alin, I didn't say, "tyranny of the mirror box," I said, "tyranny of the 35mm mirror box." The tyranny is not the mirror box per se, but rather the fact that a 35mm box is oversized when compared to the imaging array. I submit that a properly sized mirror box is not tyranny.
Imagine if you spent your time shooting 35mm film (24x36 image size) with a Pentax 67. You'd lose wide-angle capability, flash synch speed, etc.... --Mark -----Alin wrote----- As long as the mirror box "tyranny" gives me an optical TTL viewfinder, then so be it. The hell will freeze before I buy a digital viewfinder camera. And "how much" is this lens - 5 MPixels? And how many megapixels is capable of the 20 years old, mirror box constrained, 5x zoom A 28-135/4 ? 12, 16? The digital still has a long way to go...
