Are the lenses really going to be different? Or is this a "rebranding"
effort. I'd bet on the later. Appologies to come - if proven to be
warranted at a later date. :-)

I just saw that Nikon is coming out with a new extensive line of digital
lenses for it's cameras called. "G" lenses. I recall us talking here a
year or so ago about how the optical requirements are so totally
different for digital then they are for analog. I had been questioning
the Schneider larger format line of digital lenses as just being a
marketing thing.

Apologies?
