I wasn't sure who would bring it up, but I was aware of the pinhole culture, though not necessarily of the extent of it.

this is all part of the adventure, the search for the perfect tool for the perfect shot, like the search for audio nirvana; a great odyssey.

Sinar has the mix I spoke of, though i haven't tried their software and their plastick leaves much to be desired. The M is a great idea. I'm still annoyed by the lack of quick succession shooting with their digital backs. Their eMotion22 back, their fastest, can still only do as fast as someone with a manual advance. Not to mention its other shortcomings nor to short-change their accomplishment.

I lead myself to ask another question: do i have to make my case? or is it self evident?

I suppose i'll say it again in different words: of all the commodities in the general price range there is none more tied into the whims of essentially undifferentiated commercial entities. The whole camera business seems bogus and non-sensical to me, and i'm sure i'm not alone. I can't be, can i ?

A relative's photo club teacher once said "[all a camera is, is a dark box]". And i can't for the life of me, understand why the extent of that idea seems to be pinhole cameras, and complete nonpluss-age to just about everybody else.

appologies, for length, width, girth.
