I'm getting older and lazier, so I'm willing to cheat more often and take the easier option.

Seriously, it is freeing experience.

easier...not the words i was hoping for...but it's a start.

A significant difference is the lack of consequence and commitment (in time, effort) to the taking of an image with digital photography, compared to shooting with film.

Im not saying one is better or more real than the other, they are simply different, and one is easier in terms of effort expended to obtain a presentable image.

When I needed something wider than my Fuji 16mm f/1.4, I considered the Zeiss Touit 12mm 2.8, the Fuji 10-24mm f/4, and the Rokinon 12mm f/2. All three are excellent lenses.

I selected the manual focus 12mm Rokinon because I needed the f/2 lens speed more than I needed a 10mm focal length or auto focus. I have been very pleased with my decision.
