IMAGES
...****not looking for a fight****...
i have been looking at lots of images lately, here and elsewhere on the net...some were made with incredibly cheap lenses and some with very expensive lenses.
some images were just plain crap and some were exquisite and many were just really, really good...
some images were from rf lenses and some were from dslr lenses.
some were digital and some were film images.
i think you get my drift...
what got me most is that it didn't seem to matter what lens was used...the images were all similar enough for me to think that a thousand dollar lens and a 450 dollar lens does pretty much the same job.
i'm not talking about tripod mounted lenses or medium format here...but most of us shoot handheld 35mm cameras or cropped sensor cameras...
bokeh varied some, corner sharpness too...but in the end - does it really make that much difference?
