Let met get this straight: you're contending that using R mount lenses
on a digital camera, say a 10D or a 1Ds won't make beautiful images?
Really? I don't believe that. Maybe they won't be as good as with the
very best film under the very best conditions. But I think you've
over-stated what film grants and what digital cannot do.
