[Leica] Another reason to hate Canon.

[shino at panix.com (Rei Shinozuka)]

i think over the last 20 years--and well before the advent of 
consumer digital photography--customers have been happy to 
swap lens speed (and hence short depth of field) for the convenience
of zooms and then more zoom range
at both long and short ends, as well as lens size and weight.
shrinking the sensor size is merely another such compromise.

if the of today's photos have the hanna-barbara depth-of-field,
digital (for once) is not the causitive agent.
