Hi! Are you trying to say that as long as one likes what they are doing with the tools in one's hand, the results are bound to be not bad?
I'd second that. Boris ===8<==============Original message text=============== Pac> Kind of a weird ramble here but what the heck. Pac> I would be the first to agree that large format is better than medium format Pac> is better than 35mm is better than APS is better than 110. But I would also Pac> like to say that getting great photos (and that's what it is all about) is more Pac> than the size of your film, more than the size of your lens... Getting great Pac> shots is about, among other things, the love you have for the subject and your Pac> equipment. If you love to use a particular camera and a lens ( no matter if Pac> it's nikon, pentax large format, medium format) chances are you will achieve Pac> success. If you dislike a camera, format etc there's a good chance you will Pac> struggle with your photography. I believe it's one of the reasons people on this Pac> list say a particular lens (often a fast expensive optic (85 f1,4, 80-200 f2.8) Pac> is fantastic. They are reacting as much to the joy and ease of use of using Pac> these lenses than to the actual results. It's much the same reason for the Pac> cultish love affair with the LX. The LX is a great camera but it's the joy of using Pac> it that makes it a spectacular camera. Pac> And so, after saying all this, I predict the istD will quickly become a great Pac> camera on this list because we will love to use it. It's fun, it provides Pac> instant results, i's nicely finished, it's easy to use. Pac> Large format on the other hand, is big, clunky, expensive. It's a perfect Pac> format for some, but not many. Pac> Just my 2 cents Pac> Vic ===8<===========End of original message text===========
