Digital BW, The Print

Yeah!!!! Someone hit the nail right on the head, with the exception that the other lenses (designed for digital) ought to be cheaper. I haven't seen anyone yet produce an optic for half-frame (that IS what most digital cameras are) at a substantially lower price. While the design costs are certainly not any less due to CAD, the manufacturing of elements with (sometimes) extreme curvature or the need for aspherics has been reduced . . . as should the price . . . guess I am just dreaming "in Technicolour"

  And on a
  digicam with a crop factor, they may be better still, because the corners of
  their working area, where they're weakest, aren't even used.

  If anyone knows anything to the contrary, I'd like to hear it. My purchasing
  philosophy has been based on the idea that eventually I'd have a full-frame
  sensor, so I've been sticking to lenses designed for 35mm.
