Hi - You got it right,

There is nothing wrong with photojournalism - it's a job for a 
photographer needing an zoom to get that very picture without
changing lens at all, many with 800 ASA films - I have done it myself.

That's why I said - what I said - Zooms and photojournalism hangs 
toghther not! Often handheld, often in a hurry, to catch up all those
assignments to make his/hers living. Good pictures had been taken - 
but how many lost - when the winder rips the film through the 
camerahouse!

Zoom is a splended tool for a splendid photournalist - not right??
Zoom is also not a splended tool for 100 ASA trying to do fineart.
Zooms are bad because - try to buy one for a deasent price for an 
Hasselblade - did you see one of those?

Did You ever see a zoom an a LF-camera? 

And those cameras *could* certainly stand a zoom better than 35 mm 
camera.....or are they that good now...that I shall window out 
everything over 35 mm???

I own zooms as well - but that is for vaccation when traveling light 
with my 35 mm camera. But is that little filmpiece on a 35 mm camera 
best toghether with a zoom?

Ah - you know what I mean - and all of this is out of topics for this
forum - not? And out of topics of my main question:
_____________________________________________________

My question was about "Is quad, PIEZO and color pigment to be 
regarded as "experimental" photo?
___________________________________________________
(For those who forgot this was the real topic of this inlay!)

And You starts arguing about the situation where I mensioned the Word 
zoom in a sence - that was the beginners at my photoclub was using 
zooms and only have one camerahouse not able to switch film - that 
might be more important in certain situations!
That was a picture of how it looked at my photoclub - where I'm 
regarded as a stranger since the computer does the picture 
automaticly for me - just like the autofocus of those Nikon 
Zoomlenses - it was playing with words - to give you a certain 
feeling.

But one good fellow did understand what i meant - and that good 
answer came from Áustralia. 

Read that one!

The others here either don't care or don't want to hold that hot 
potatoe!
I have a feeling that most hang their quads/Piezo next to the 
siverphotos - not saying a word!

This was also written with some satir - but who cares?
In what legue do Quad/Pizo play - none cares!
Strange indeed! Remarkable!


Fiat Lux!
