Trying to figure it out.
Trying to figure it out.
I'm trying to figure this Noctilux thing out... trying to figure out what I find annoying reading this thread (I check in on it from time to time).
I think it goes something like this. (I'm going to attempt an analogy here, which seldom work, but here goes.) If I had a friend that bought a Ferrari, I expect that when they take me for a ride, they're going to show off its handling or its acceleration or something like that. If they just drove me down to the supermarket to pick up the milk, I'd be a bit disappointed. 😱
O.K.... so when I come to this thread each time I see a post, I'm hoping to see something Ferrari-like, not something family sedan-like. Something in my warped personality feels like saying "call me up when you want to show me something special". And so far, I don't see that. Now I know there's at least two things that could be getting in the way of me seeing it. First, this damn little screen can't show me oodles of "glow" or resolution or whatever. And the second is that I can't SEE that you were standing in a coal mine when you took the shot.
I hear many of you say "If someone wants to spend that kind of dough to make that kind of picture, let 'em" or "This lens can do amazing things" or ... whatever. I can sort of buy those points. Nevertheless, everytime I see an image posted here, my gut reaction is something like "I see absolutely nothing different between that image and many I made with my Yashica Electro"... I want to see SPEED! I want to see the POWER of that lens! Bring it on! Otherwise, take that money and donate it to your local charity!
Now... where did I put my therapist's phone number... hmmm...
