Well at the end of the day......no matter what lens or camera you use, if is the final print that is all that matters. When the world of glorified camera buffs,,,ie non shooting throphy collectos begins trying to impress each other. You end up with the same type of people who are paying insane prices for Bugatti's , Cuda's and modern art. That is the way of the world. I wish they would stick to buying up all the Limited Editon Leica's , made from societies version of "fools gold".
Sometimes the "grass is greener" grips everyone and after a couple of months try to shoot everything at F/1 suddenly gets realy boring. Then you sell off that white elephant and go back to that ordinary old F2 normal lens and the photos seem somehow more interesting and more fun to create. But as we all face the digital frenzy of anti-film consumerism...we now see our film as black magic by the public. Quaint but lacking in techno coolness. So Sad.
Do I love all that strange and weird stuff that was once made in a marketing technology war at the peak of the true mechanical analog age. You bet, but if I can not make something better with it then I sell it and move on.
