The only way to determine this would be to have the various models available with and without AA. Then we could determine an accurate percentage of AA "want." When I followed the Medium Format Digital developments closely it appeared that the moire solution "wanters" were primarily fashion and portrait shooters concerned with fabric. The photo illustrators, product and architectural shooters wanted rid of the AA. My guess is the high production manufacturers had to compromise toward the consumer/portrait/wedding market. And that 99.99% of buyers of those cameras have not seen unsharpened results from sensors without AA's. googling "aa filters on medium format backs" will bring up a whole lot of interesting discussions Regards, George Lottermoser george at imagist.com http://www.imagist.com http://www.imagist.com/blog http://www.linkedin.com/in/imagist On May 30, 2009, at 10:37 AM, Jayanand Govindaraj wrote: > Tina, > Maybe because 99.99% of the market wants it that way... > Cheers > Jayanand > > >> Ah hah!
