I've tried to follow the thread and read the documentation on the sorry 
"water spots" episode.
- I come to the conclusion that digital is not the best of the worlds as 
i thought it was - with film, you had to wait until you saws your pixes, 
but dust was not such a problem, was it?
- I  also deduce that bridge with built-in lenses are better protected - 
but their uses are still limited to "standard" snaps.
- I now have doubts about the Digital back, which should all the more be 
prone to that kind of problem as you must be very very careful when you 
adapt the back I guess (never seen one by the way)
- I get to think that nothing's perfect and i should wait a little more 
before turning to digital.
What do you think?
