Not a question but a rant:

  • Back when I was a kid, cameras were tools. Now they're toys. Blah blah blah.
  • Photography used to mean something when it took talent to do it. Now any fool can take a sharp well-exposed photo, so photography is hereby all crap.
  • Film has soul, and digital has none. I can tell just by looking at a print if it was digital or film.
  • The only magic in photography occurs in a chemical darkroom. Anything else is a fraud.
  • It isn't photography if it didn't come from film. Digital is nice, but don't you dare call it photography.
  • The camera manufacturers are to blame for the death of film. They forced digital cameras down our throats against our wills!
  • eBay sucks!
  • Paypal sucks!
  • Buying on RFF classified sucks!
  • So and so is a crook!
  • The seller said it was in 'good shape' and it clearly has a faint trace of a whispy dust molecule on one inner lens element. I want a refund and HOW DARE THEY!
 
Shucks. Somebody beat me to the 35mm Summicron question.

I don't recall seeing "Which fast 50 cheap?"

I wonder if anyone has really asked, "Which version of the 35mm Summicron would be best for my new M3?"
 
How do the Noct 0.95 compare to the CV 50mm 2.0 ?

Whats wrong with my M9 when it get soft corners with a new CV 12mm

Street photography - is the 0.95 ok to range focus.?
