...they're only for amateurs and beginners.

a certain photographer's wife...

"...was an architectural student, and bought a camera to make pictures
for her studies. It was a Pentax Spotmatic, and he remembers it with
great affection.

"It was the first I had looked inside a camera, and for me it was
incredible. I had a big, big interest in this. It was June 1970, and
Lelia bought it with a 50mm lens, and just one week later we bought a
28mm and a 200mm. These were real excitements, allowing us to look at
things in a different way. [...] it totally invaded my life.

"At the time I was writing my PhD thesis [...] Inside a month I had a
big wish to abandon it all and become a photographer."
