Considering that my Nikon 500 mm f4 lens cost more than that, the price on this new generation of digital imaging technology really isn't bad. But then again, I have a very serious photographic addition that has no doubt clouded my sanity when it comes to things photographic! Although there have been tremendous advances in digital image technology, it'll still be a long time before I hang up my Nikon F5's in favor of an all digital approach to photography. Despite the resolution, there are still things that you can't do with a digital when it comes to low light and reciprocity failure that I'm unfortunately seriously addicted to having as tools that I can play with in my photography. That said, that doesn't mean I won't consider buying Nikon's new generation digital toy... hmmmmmm.........

There will be something coming out next year for those of you who do not wish to shead their film addictions completely. Its called Silicon Film . Just place the reader cartridge where your film goes and screw in the base unit (like a power rewinder), turn it on and presto. Your SLR just became a DSLR. I have been speaking with the Pres./CEO of the company. They bought the rights and equipment from the previous outfit that ran out of funding to bring it to market. They have improved it quite a bit. It was 1.3Mpxls. Now they will be offering a 4Mpxl, 10Mpxl, and (maybe) a special B&W version. The 4Mpxl version is sopposed to be priced at $600. I have no connection with the company. I just found it on the internet, curiousity took over, and made a phone call. For $600, I would pull my N70 out of the closet... or maybe my old Minolta SRT-202. An old manual gone digital! Yeah!

That's quite an interesting concept (The Silicon film dealie) looking at the pdf file I don't see a wire going from the internal part to the external part, maybe it's a wireless transfer or maybe you would have to change the back of the camera like a data back. Even if this company doesn't get it right the first time I would think that other camera companies are developing similar devices.

Gary, speaking of the cost of the lens you mentioned , that $4,000 tag doesn`t even include a lens on that price quoted .
