The wealthy didn't want education for the peons. Cellphones are another step toward levelling that playing field, as ugly as some of the steps appear at times.

Nope -since always, a 50 on a 35mm camera was Normal.
Only since the rise of the phone-cam has 28mm equivalent been "normal"

Lol -I said if necessary --which will be *very* rare. "Film" or "movies" as we know them will become nearly unrecognisable in your lifetime Vadimka.

Race-cars? invalid comparison. I will say interest in auto racing will nearly disappear, though, when autonomous vehicles take over.
As Juzam points out, most of what you consider Manual focusing,...

It's apparent that half of you think I'm incapable of reading comprehension. I made no comment on the quality, or nature of future film-production -which remains to be seen. My comment is well...

"Autofocus IS NOT and WILL NEVER be a good solution for professional cinematographers."
this kind of black/white statement always looks good in a college essay; but in 5 years will just look dumb.

"For example post modern music has about zero appeal to 98% of the population. It breaks many rules of classical music and is actively disliked by many. That doesn't mean it is not Art."

"If it was round, how come it never rotates?" Ahh, but it does -once every 24 hours.

I don't share your pessimism. If more people did the right thing, when no one's looking, this would be a better world. Positive actions do rub off -no woo necessary.

What's wrong with "being a good internet citizen" simply because it's the right thing to do...with no reward other than personal satisfaction?

Here's a selfie I took in 1972 with my Gt. What looks like tape over the name was vinyl. I imported the camera directly from Hong Kong to the US, it got flagged by Customs, and I had to grind the...

Ahh -you have a G! -the poor man's Nikon...but you need the accessory meter!
So yours has the plain prism?

I happen to have a Miranda Gt (bought new in 1968) and that is simply the coupled-meter accessory . The shutter dial was removed and the meter installed -it was match-needle, but coupled to the...

Steve -you're entire first post was nothing but lazy assumptions and cliches. That's how I figured.

You proved your point here, Peter :)

Perfect.

Hmmm
