Huge DSLRs and tele lenses

[Peter^]

Do you think that guys who have huge DSLRS and tele lenses are compensating for deficits in other areas?

 

[Dr Gaspar]

Hahaha, good one.

 

[shadowfox]

No more than guys with taped up rangefinders and f/0.95 lenses compensating for deficits in some *other* areas...

:angel:

 

[dave lackey]

Certainly. A lack of knowledge if the huge gear is not necessary for their professional work.

 

[nobbylon]

No not at all, it's just that we don't want to look unbalanced when shooting with our clothes off.
It's also probably got something to do with handling what you are used to, size wise I mean

 

[_larky]

And there I am with a 35mm Voigtlander which isn't even an inch long...

It depends.

If it's a guy shooting pro sports, or part of a scrum in a huge news event that's national in scope, etc. -- then he's just a professional using the right tools for the job.

 

[LKeithR]

And you are concerned about this why?

Just maybe they are using the correct set of tools to do their job professionally.

I agree. A pointless thread. Big zooms are mostly a case of using the right tool for the right job. As good as rangefinders are for some things there are places they just don't work...

HMmm.. I wonder what the OP thinks about photographers with Pentax 67's and Mamiya 67's then? They make dslr's look like play things!

 

[Neare]

What do I do? My RF lenses are still compensating for my deficits!

 

[rxmd]

Do you think that guys who have huge DSLRS and tele lenses are compensating for deficits in other areas?

I don't know, but what about guys who put long lists of gear in their signatures?

Now that always made me wonder.

[tomalophicon]

Do you mean you think they have small penises?

 

[dexdog]

I don't know, but what about guys who put long lists of gear in their signatures?

snicker...

 

[Thardy]

Do you mean you think they have small penises?

Now that's getting to the point.

 

[btgc]

Do you believe guys using pancake lenses claim their shortage...somewhere else?

 

[peterm1]

Do you think that guys who have huge DSLRS and tele lenses are compensating for deficits in other areas?

Yes I am.




My wallet.

 

[keepright]

Am I the only one who expected this to be a poll?

My answer: if the camera was truly compensating, then the shutter button wouldn't be so d@mn sensitive.

Hmm...
