Or you used to and now you changed your mind? Or somebody else did and you changed their mind? or...? Is is that 35 isn't as good as its cranked up to be or that MF is a definite level up or...? My point is that no one is saying MF is an obsolete technology, it just represents a more select market which AF could greatly expand even moreso than it did 35. IMHO I remember when disk film made 35mm obsolete. Mark Rabiner
