Still shooting film here. I need five different lenses for my work, some as

I don't ned a zoom, I can always put on a longer lens.

Well, you aren't really going to find a wide angle of that focal length
suitable with most digital SLRs, unless you find one where electronics
(the ccd) don't hang a magnification on the lens. I see your point.



I did find one outfit that would offer the variety of lenses required. $3500.
If I didn't already have a nice camera, I'd spring for it- but that's a lot to
pay simply to avoid film development costs and duplicate what I've already got
with a newer technology.

While digital SLR technology is moving along, and really good cameras
are getting much cheaper (and more expensive at the upper end of the SLR
scale), good quality lenses are not cheap and won't become so. The lens
is still physics and glass, not electronics.

of them, who is arrogant about his ignorance, who is reckless and
incompetent, and whose backers are turning the United States into a pariah.

What, me worry?
