I missed this interesting but perhaps ultimately pointless article which was mentioned on Slashdot a few days ago, until Ed Krimen emailed me - thanks Ed :-) Would Ansel Adams Have Gone Digital? Personally I very much doubt it, but Richard LoPinto, vice president for SLR camera systems at Nikon Inc, thinks he would have loved digital cameras.

LoPinto is quoted as saying “He shot with a large-format camera and had the patience to stand around waiting for hours for the perfect shot, but he also used our Nikon FM series cameras,” LoPinto continued. “I would like to speculate, and it’s purely my personal opinion, that were he with us today he would be really taken by the technology and would be at the forefront.”

Anyway, I’ll let you read the full article here and make up your own minds:
