Dont buy new stuff?

Heres the best cameras ive ever used which was i think a Canon.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stepper

Tha last ones i ran experiments on produced critical dimensions down to less than 0.018 of a micron and both the Canon and Nikon cameras could move an image to less than a thousanth of a micron. The human hair is 36 microns. The last Canon stepper i used in late 20th century cost £5,000,000 and illuminated the image by laser light. The semiconductors and images i was able to produce was amazing. Technology has moved on but the ability to move a silicon wafer of 10 inches and achieve an acurate image when moving through x, y and z was amazing. Thats not to forget the orthogonality of the axis aswell. We actually thought x rays were the way to go in the future but im sure whatever they use now is way beyond what i used.

So yes, i know a little about lens's. What do i do now? Lets just say it involves human behaviour.

Next, before i post my most killer post, are you absolutly sure human eyes can tell the differance between the new lens and the old at A3 which was my original post?

Just do it Mick, just do it. And I'm absolutely not sure about anything.

You left out the 135 f/2L. Stupid sharp.

Rocco, there could be cases made for many different lenses depending on their usage and style of the user. Have used many different lenses including some primes which are sharper than the zooms I routinely use. The reason I keep coming back to the zooms is that they are delivering sufficient image quality for my purposes while offering versatility that a prime can not. I do have and use primes as well. The ones most frequently used are specialized, like macros, or for specific focal lengths and applications that are outside of the zoom capabilities, no zoom comes close to matching the super teles for instance. While I like sharp details in my images, at some point a lens is sharp enough for its usage and further dollars spent will not make much difference in the photos captured.

Mick, is it true that cats simply enjoy playing with mice?
