"Blasphemous" thoughts about MF future

[yaya]

IF at some point in the future (3-5 years from now) some small camera, phone, webcam, toy or whatever that will be, will match or surpass the quality of some other bigger DSLR, or MFDB, will you ever consider to use that kind of toy for your landscape work, or the style of the camera will be a problem for you?[/B]

I use my iPhone to shoot landscape all the time...why do you want me to wait 3-5 years?

Since I already buy cameras as technology change, I am uncertain why I would stop now. I care more about results than what is on my shoulder.

BTW, high-quality plastics are already being used in high-end lenses. They have been for years.

You are talking about special single elements that costs more than a normal glass lens. they are made from a bar stock just like I did. you get a lot of waste lenses before having one with no imperfections.
