Sorry, Eric. My statement was accurate save for its misattribution to you. Someone did make that comment, and this thread has evolved along those lines until Austin started discussing design instead of production. Again, I have no argument with what Austin said with regard to either CNC machines or craftsmanship. But the thread began with a discussion of digital cameras being made by machines and film cameras being assembled by hand. I am not advocating that view, just pointing out how the thread got started.
