Year: 2500
Place: Every Museum in the World
Found: Thousands of reproducable 500 year old digital images,
all as "new" as they were when taken.
Not Found: Even one surviving photograph that preceeded digital
archiving.

Viewable, but in horribly faded condition.

I agree. However, I suspect that neither you nor I had a big
investment in Canon FD lenses at the time the EOS system was
introduced.
A friend was heavily into Canon equipment and was very annoyed. Canon
had tried AF versions of the FD mount (in the T80 if I recall
correctly) and he felt reassured that Canon would stay with FD. When
they announced EOS, he was livid.
He is still using Canon T90s and FD lenses and still uses only film! >> Stay informed about: The Nikon D3 makes everyone's life better, even mine!!! |

Do you think that Nikon cares whether you idolize them or not?

Not likely there will be any originals left by 2500, but I scan my slides
too, (The ones that are worth it) so there is some possibility that they
might make it till then. The question is, will there be anything in 2500 at
all? >> Stay informed about: The Nikon D3 makes everyone's life better, even mine!!! |

Quite true. Rita thinks that purchashing an expensive camera will allow
'her' to take great photos. So Rita does have the 'Mission Impossible' model. >> Stay informed about: The Nikon D3 makes everyone's life better, even mine!!! |

No, because it's stupid to have a blind loyalty to a manufacturer. But I
don't expect you to have the intelligence to realize that. >> Stay informed about: The Nikon D3 makes everyone's life better, even mine!!! |

Subjective and biased consumer reviews aside... why would the mounting
necessarily affect the glass itself? >> Stay informed about: The Nikon D3 makes everyone's life better, even mine!!! |
