RE: [Digital BW] Re: digicam purple fringe Vs B&W

Keep in mind that lenses don't focus all colors on the same plane.  It was
great for color film since the film also has separate layers.

True the digital glass is tweaked for digital, but a point and shoot doesn't
get all the technology and quality of high-end glass.   It's all about
price, features and megapixels.
