Re: An opinion: How much better can things get?
I don't know. I think we're spoiled. Sure small sensor cameras lack dynamic range, when compared to larger formats, but compare any format larger than 1" to 35mm slide film. Even 35mm reversal film didn't have 13+ stops of dynamic range.

Mark, I trusted you... and you... I took some inexpensive lenses out of the closet, and tried them... Their quality didn't go up. You mislead /me! ;-) Igor Mark Roberts Mon, 09 Jan 2017 07:44:18 -0800 wrote: Collin B wrote: The only rough point is the price of good lenses. They've gone up while bodies drop.

When I look at almost everyone's digital camera offerings, they're all so good. Even the slowest AF is quite quick & does a fine job. The features, like geotagging/gps were unimaginable with film. Pixel shift improves on the in-camera edge processing. Others will follow. Once we got computer-designed lenses with aspherical elements then even once-mediocre lenses started to produce decently, let alone what was happened to the nice lenses. The only rough point is the price of good lenses. They've gone up while bodies drop. These days the photographer really has some nice choices out there. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
