Al, that is pretty much the way I see it, except I can't quite see going back to a rangefinder with fixed lens. I've been an SLR fan since the 1950's. The ability to see exactly what is in the frame, and now being able to zoom a pretty wide range is the creative tool I'm addicted to. All I can do

I've seen scanned grain from Fujicolor 160 negs that seemed about equal or larger than scanned Fujicolor 800 negs, so I suspect you're correct about the frequency intermodulation theory. Dave - Original Message - From: Tony Sleep <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday,
