Colours!

Itsn't it unbelievable that our digital cameras capture colour images with a black & white sensor?  Ok, cameras using the X3 Foveon sensors are excepted, as it uses a vertical filter on the sensor itself, but majority of digital cameras use a Bayer Array sensor, which was invented by Kodak, and colour is interpolated from the RGBG filter.  Today's Bayer sensors are so good, colour accuracy is truly amazing.  Luckily, we don't have to worry about the technical side of this stuff.  We just point, and click, so to speak.

  2. @bvujicic: It's tough to suggest lens without knowing what budget you have in mind. There are so many choices out there with huge price differences.

    As for stores with good selection of manual focus lenses, Henry's probably has the most, but they tend to be pricey. You can also try downtown camera (not far from Henry's), but they are also pretty expensive.
