FS: Pentax SMC-F 28mm f/2.8 lens, EX+

2004-07-23 Thread Joe Wilensky
I picked up the F version of the 28mm f/2.8 lens (same optical formula as the A, different than the later FA, which I also have) a couple of months ago. It's in EX+ condition, I see no flaws whatsoever. Images were beautiful, but I really don't need two 28mm primes. I'm keeping the FA, as I

CCD vs. CMOS

Hi all I just talked to a Canon guy on the phone. He said that the reason Canon is ruling the world of digital photoraphy at the moment is, that they stuck to CMOS while everybody else left it for CCD's. I'm not an electronics engineer, so what do guys think? All the best Jens

Well, I thought it was the other way around. Everyone else used CCD's because they were better, and Canon used CMOS because that is what they had the FAB for. Also Canon's advertising budget seems to be about equal to the sum of everybody else's. Anyway, that is my opinion, a second beer and it
