OK, Cotty, I will bite. How much money have you actually lost on the D60?
None what-so-ever, I'll bet. Just because the newer ones are cheaper, and
resale value is a fraction of what you paid for it, doesn't mean you have
lost money on it. You have had a DSLR for a year, used it, enjoyed it.
Anyone
Well the whole problem with this is that antialiasing filters defuse the
image just before it hits the sensor. Defused light, by definition, is not
parallel. I can think of no SLR WA lens with through the lens viewing that
is not retrofocus anyway, or do you think you can put a non-retrofocus 15mm

Well, I don't care much what happens to mine once I am through with it. They
can give it to someone else, throw it away, or like frank says toss it in my
grave .

Does anybody really think the "great enthusiasm" is going to be around for a
long time? Why do you only take part of the definition as relevant? Maybe
because the whole thing does not support your beliefs? Don't feel bad about
doing that though, that is how many people interpret the US Constitution
IIRC Pentax out sold (units) all other SLR makers in the late 60's early
70's. Then the plastic cameras came out and Pentax was late getting into
that (cheap camera) market.

There is no doubt that digital is currently a fad, especially at the
comsumer level. When that fad goes the way of all fads, then we will see
where digital is in the real world.

And the best o'luck to you, Laddy. One strange thing I have noticed but keep
forgeting, is that things have a way of working out as they are supposed
too. (and as one anonymous NYC cabbie said, "No matter if we beat ourselves
up about it or not")
