However if you are out to make the the best end product wouldn't it make sense to use the best tools for the job?
If the operator part of the equation is up to the challenge, certainly.
But to get the best equipment in _anticipation_ that it will make you a better photographer, is not only putting the cart in front... it's a bit of kidding yourself, isn't it?
How do you perform with "merely" average equipment?
Are you capable of using it as well as it's possible? Are you wringing out the last little bit of performance, each photo session?
Honestly?
Then perhaps it would be a good idea to buy up. To upgrade your equipment. Because you're probably as good as you can be with what you're using right now.
Somewhere around the house, I have a really cheap ass 80-200 zoom lens.
I submit to you that in any given circumstance, my top end prime lenses will produce a technically superior picture.
The operator isn't part of this particular equation, as picture esthetics should be treated as a seperate issue.
