It looks like your are trying to say that an "Image Maker" is not-interested-in or should-not-be-interested-in "How sharp is the lens?" "Wow is that an L lens?" "How good is the bokeh?" "The xxx lens is the best, buy that one." "That wide angle is not sharp." Now I know what I am. I must be a "Picture taker" because I actually care about all of the above except the "L lens" reference. Although, if I can afford it and it does not cause a hardship on me or any of my dependents, I will usually buy the L lens. Unlike some, I consider the use of a lens as renting it instead of buying it: the rent being the difference between what I pay for the lens minus what I sell it for when I no longer need it.
