Nikon and Pentax Algi, with Minolta a strong rising star in the 1960s/1970s. Before then, Rolleiflex, before then various larger format cameras like the Speed Graphic.

If I could afford one I'd jump at the chance, these are professional lenses of the highest calibre.

Bill's right, set it at 50mm.

Just like the 645 system, if it happened I'd expect some all new lenses, plus a re-release of the FA lenses that were up to scratch on digital. There are 5 lenses already available, three FA Limiteds and two macro lenses. The designs are already there for an extensive range, but the cost of releasing such a system would surely be immense?

I can sympathise with the feeling of exhaustion over the subject! It has been going on for a very long time now. To be honest, I'd rather have the 100-400mm zoom that I might well buy than a FF camera that I probably won't.

Others may have very different priorities.

I'm glad that we're seeing it in the same way. It would be possible to do this as a short movie sequence in Pictures2Exe by putting maybe 30, 60 or more slowly receding shots into a couple of seconds. It's something I might do yet if I decide to make some AV presentations.

I think the sunlight striking an object in space is right, and no doubt we are all influenced by what SF movies tell us it should look like. I haven't been in space either, so I'm going with the current paradigm on that one.

Nothing is a waste of time Philip, as I'm sure that lots of people do read these threads, no doubt though by now very familiar with the arguments for "full frame" DSLRs. It shows interest, although not necessarily likely demand. Depending on pricing, not everyone will welcome the idea of spending more huge sums of money.

Which just goes to show hoe perceptive gwing was yesterday, with the only comment on Part Two. Yes, I too saw it as a space/time ship, slowly receding to nothing at the end of all things.

Part Three shows it well on its way to oblivion.....and ends this short series. All comments welcome.

SR will slow the camera down slightly, while it locks on, so maybe for action shots where the moment is important it should be switched off. In any event, SR helps with camera shake and does nothing for subject movement.

I hope you managed to return or resell your finder davidwozhere?
