Just when I thought when I thought it was safe to breakdown and buy a Fuji S2 so I could take advantage of my great Tamron (Nikon) lenses, I run into a photographer friend who has gone digital (Canon 10D) and he's telling me that in order to get the best results in digital, I need digital lenses, not my current lenses. He goes into this long explanation about the light hitting the chip at an angle, etc, and how the image is brighter with the digital lenses. I was a bit tired and missed some of this, so I was wondering if anyone had a good explanation of what he was talking about, as I have never heard of this. I have heard of lenses for digital cameras, but I thought it was all about shorter lenses to compensation for the magnification factor.
Also, he swears the CMOS chip in the Canon cameras is better for skin tone than the CCD chip in the others. I had heard this one before, but still no understanding of why, or if its just a matter of taste. He's got me thinking if I have to buy the lenses, I might as well go Canon for the CMOS too.
Thanks,
