Godfrey, I want to be able to use my lenses both on film and on digital. Why? Just because! I mean no offense, it is just that I shoot few film frames every now and then.
It appears to me (although I may be potentially wrong) that photography as a technology has submitted itself to Moore's law. Thus I cannot be sure if in so many months some kind of breakthrough will happen that will make me very unhappy. Since I don't deal in gear but rather use it, I decided I should be very careful not to bleed my money all over the bleeding edge... Again, no offense, just my considerations.
