Variety is the spice of life! In photographic gear and the photos themselves, and lots of other things that shall remain nameless ... because this is a photo/gear forum afterall

Gear is nice and playing around with different cameras and lenses is fun but ... without any decent photos in the portfolio it is getting boring and also slightly embarrassing if the value of the gear exceeds the quality of the images by a margin ...

The best camera is one that still works!

Holga shooters would seldom be in this position!

... I totally agree ! (was more thinking in the line of a famous German camera maker ....

i would argue that, while a decent portfolio of photos is preferable, it is by no means a "requirement"

I'm just a so so photographer, but for myself it's my relaxation, escape from pressures, as well as just darn fun! Gear is certainly half of the enjoyment & actually getting to use such gear completes the cycle! But I'm still confused about which answer to pick!

back alley,
Most of the time, the more gear-obsessed people on this thread are the worst photographers. You, however, are an anomaly to this theory.

I have more images than gear so I voted Huh? Come to think of it I have more bags than gear so maybe more bags = more images and the gear has nothing to do with it. Maybe I need a Leica bag.
