Hello William, I think there is another factor involved as well. When shooting film, the cost and time to do serious testing was something to take into account. Most of us just accepted the cameras as they came without really putting them through their paces.
With digital, it is quite easy, quick and cheap to blow things up to pixel level and really scrutinize - the imperfections start to show up more. How often did we make 11X14 or larger prints to check out image quality and things like focus? -- Bruce Thursday, January 24, 2008, 11:17:08 AM, you wrote: WR> ----- Original Message ----- WR> Subject: Re: K10D focusing quirk WR> It comes up in other groups as well.
