Look, Doug, try to keep up, OK?   There is no Cliff Notes
summary for this forum - you have to actually read the
postings.

**I'm** the one here who said that digital IS ready for
prime time and it's already the dominant mode for pro's.

But that's not what this thread ("Techies -vs- Artists")
is about, is it?   Go back and reread the original.  What
THIS thread is about is the claim by some MF shooters
that digital has such high resolution that it forces
them to buy new, sharper lenses.  And THAT's a statement
where numbers **DO** tell the whole story.  That's a claim 
that could only be made by an art major.
