Thank you for your very helpful contribution.
I apologise if I didn't make it sufficiently clear that the notes
were tailored for digital camera users who's cameras do not support
SLR lenses.
No apology necessary. I think in the long run, you'll see digital
SLR's come down in price to the point ordinary folks can afford them
if they want them. The use of interchangeable lenses will then once
again be common.
Most digital cameras today are only a step or two above a disposable
film camera in my estimation: you can do only so much with the zoom
lenses they have, though I admit there are many excellent photographs
made with them.
Even more important than interchangeable lenses is the ability to
have the flash off-camera or bounced from a wall or ceiling. I've
found in film photography that lighting is often more important than
the lens you use.
Now if the pbs-list would just take up a collection so I could buy
that Pentax digital body I want...
