Actually, the classic "Ritz Cracker Pie" makes a pretty good Apple pie w/o 
apples!  :-)  Recipe is on the cracker-maker's web site.  I made it last
year, turned out pretty good, all things concidering.  :-)

How do the lenses of the currently available FED cameras compare 
technically to the camera's of the 50's?  They're currently available
and are inexpensive.  Mine *seems* quite sharp by eyeball observation.

I too, as everybody knows, believe this to be true "eventually".  I don't 
think it'll be "real soon" though, at least not in the consumer market.
There still are things to be overcome that'll take time.  I'd expect
lower-quality-than film stereo cameras to come to the consumer market
far ahead of film-quality ones, and the reason is obvious.
