The big limitation in shooting jpegs is that you don't have the exposure control that you get when converting RAW in PSCS. There is no comparison between jpeg and RAW. It's like night and day. Here's a shot I did yesterday to test the 28/3.5 for another member. It includes snow in bright sun and heavy shadow under a bench. You'll find detail in the snow and plenty of information in the sahdow. It was shot in RAW, and processed in PSCS. A bit of additional adjustment was done with the Shadow/Highlight tool in PS after conversion. There isn't a slide film in the world that can give you that much latitude, and I would guess that you'd have to scan a negative film and post-process to get a comparable result. But that's my opinion. Others may differ. Here's the shot, which is quite ugly by the way :-). http://www.photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=3155206
