Photogs: Those who take 'em and those who love 'em

[ButchEire]

Unless you have some keen interest in blowing up your pictures to a massive level, 5 megapixels is plenty. Keep in mind that you are comparing apples and oranges when talking about digital versus film. Digital is based on interpolation and is a very different medium than film. Even top of the line digital prints are not acceptable by National Geographic, who continues to only accept film-based images.

I love mucking with dof too dee but use fast(ish) fixed glass to get the pics I like. My favourites are an old Sigma 28 2.8 and another old 35 1.4!!! Nikkor.
