There are 10 kinds of fools: One says: - "This is old therefore it is good." The other one has been conditioned to believe: - "This is new therefore it is better and I must buy it." - >some are feeble attempts to modernise and improve on stuff > that was perfected long ago. In a digital SLR the dumbest thing I've seen is the LCD viewfinder. > think of the wheel ;-) Don't think, use! > I guess for me the thing is not whether something is old OR new, it's that > it's efficient. "Efficient" Karl? Much of Victorian engineering was highly inefficient - heavily over-engineered by today's standards. But the consequence was that it still exists, and works, today. But if you are talking about photography: who cares? In the present day (over here anyway) people spend more of their free time staring at screens (TV, Computer, Phone_ than they do actually looking. They've had to include cameras in mobile phones because it's the only way kids will know where they've been while texting their mates :o) But that's efficient ... just not as we knew it ...
