I have always considered such things to be ridiculous affectations of the easily-led. People who are eternally in search of some magical device or behavior that will somehow make their photography better, constantly following the current Zeitgeist with fawning admiration.
I have never understood such things. Why is doing whatever you like such a bad thing? Why must we fall in line with the current popular trend?
I have many cameras, many lenses, and I don't know if it makes my photography better, worse, or has no effect at all on it. Come arrest me, fashion police.
