A couple of comments on digital cameras caught my eye.
1) DSLRs are "overpriced"
The original argument, as I recall was that by technical
(presumably meaning resolution) standards film cameras offer
more quality for less money. By resolution standards this is true,
although th
In Sweden, the list price of the FA 24-90 is 7800:- SEK.
As a comparision, the Nikon AF Nikkor 24-85 f/2,8-4 cost 7900:-. (only
1/2 f-stop faster at 24mm). In a recent test by the swedish magazine
FOTO, the Nikkor didn't do so well. Sharpness and mechanical
