Film manufacturers have been discontinuing individual films since the early 1900s in the normal course of commercial development, as new films come to replace them. When radio became popular in the 1920s, people knew that newspapers would evaporate. When FM radio became common in the 1960s, everyone knew AM radio was doomed. When TV became practical in the 1950s, everyone knew movie theatres were history, too. CDs were supposed to kill LPs in the 1980s, yet we still have newly released LPs. The Internet was supposed to kill TV in the late 1990s, but we still have free over-the-air TV. You still think I'm kidding?

The Forgotten Lens Why You Should Ditch That Zoom for a Classic 50mm "Normal" Lens Note: this article was originally written for film shooters and is also applicable to "full frame" digital camera owners. For thoughts on lens choice for small-format digital SLRs, see "What If I Have A Digital SLR?" So there you are, the proud parents of a beautiful new baby, and you can hardly contain your excitement as you unwrap that new 35mm camera kit you bought to document your child's early years. As your spouse proudly holds the baby up you raise the camera to your eye. Wait... while the auto focus system hunts, the built-in flash pops up and charges, the "red eye reduction" feature fires a series of strobe bursts into your subject's face, until—finally—the camera takes the picture. What's wrong with this picture? Zoom Nation If you are like most photographers just starting out with a new 35mm SLR, chances are it came with one of those ubiquitous 28-80mm (or similar) "consumer" zooms. So what is the alternative?
