Perfect? Far far from it. And, as I > noted, with the Foveon examples posted we are looking at images on our > various monitors, not at prints. Rocks and trees, is there some stigma to capturing nature? And as far as *those people* some very good ones wax over digital go look; http://luminous-landscape.com/ Tools are tools, where have I heard this? Hasselblad has a working arrangement with Foveon. I have used digital and like it. If I could recover my costs in film equipment I would not blink at using digital. My 40 years in making images has not blinded me to changes along the way and this is just another change. All I want are tools which allow me to create interesting images that satisfy my clients. Oh well, maybe Leica will team up with someone and produce a useful professional tool...the M83?
