What's Foveon Got To Do With It?
2002-03-20 by Doug Irving
Hi all, Eagerly opened my very first digest tonight...only to find that half of it was filled with a heated discussion of a new technology that has about as much to do with "Digital B&W, The Print" as a heated discussion on the merits of Kodachrome vs. E-6. While I too am eager to speculate on what the Foveon chip can and can't do, I'd humbly suggest doing it on the Digital Camera mailing list where it truly belongs. And while I'm on the Mailing List Etiquette 101 soapbox, it'd also be doing the entire list a HUGE favor if everyone took a few seconds to snip the 20-line group guidelines off their replies, thereby reducing the length of the digests by a good third (it's stated at the beginning anyway). Now then...anybody ready for a civilized discussion of the fine printing of digitized black & white images? ;-) Doug Irving, Reluctant Gadfly
