Who would want to use a 400mm lens at 400mm when he is told he could make that lens act like a 560mm lens? SUre sounds like a marketing position to me... "Use my new Model L1 Digital camera with the result that your telephoto lenses will get you closer to the sports participants." Imagine all the fathers that take endless pictures of their kids swimming, soccer, baseball, football, lacrosse, hurling, tiddly winks, ping pong, etc. They now could own bigger faster lenses without the cost of those bigger faster lenses..... Idiotic? Maybe. Maybe not. Frank Filippone red735i@earthlink.net Why wouldn't anyone prefer to use a 35mm lens as a 35mm lens? David W.
