Shaken, so blurred
I'm with you, in that the image is always up to the photographer and the use she or he makes of the tools available. But I've not taken shots that I've known the lens wasn't up to, or taken shots differently go get around the weaknesses of the lens. I've even taken shots that I knew were "pushing things" with the particular lens and ended up with a lousy shot.foto_fool said:Not once have I ever looked at a bad image I made and blamed the lens.
Of course, my best examples of those things would come from cheap zoom lenses on AF SLRs (which sure do have their limitations).
A point remains that the RF world is well supplied with very good lenses, and from manufacturers other than Leica and starting at quite reasonable prices (J8, anyone?). I doubt anyone is likely to be in the position of being unable to afford a good(-enough) RF lens. (If they really are, I probably have a J8 or I-50 that's surplus to need.)
