David,
Agreed on all points, It depends on what you are seeing and
shooting.
I did mean a 35mm f/0.9 M lens. Such a lens for an
SLR would be quite a monster.
Sometimes I wonder how long it will take the live view
technology to catch up so that we can look at 2048 x 1536
collimated to infinity and updated at 70Hz, in the viewfinder, and
mirrors and shutters can go away.
Charlie.
