William...You sound worn-out by demon "progress"...
I've often thought of assembling a group of 10 photographers:
5 seasoned enthusiasts with K-1000's / f2.0 50mm
5 yuppies with $1500 anythings / Tamron 28-300mm
and setting them loose on N.Y. City ,each with one roll of
36 exposure film-of their-choice.
I suspect the subjective & objective quality of photographs
at the end-of-day signal would be HEAVILY in favor of the
K-1000 group (with of course a few lucky pops from group-2)
because:
1. the "eye of the photographer" factor is more important
than "43-point autofocus"
2. anticipation of an event is more important than a high FPS
motor drive.
3. enthusiam and love of the craft outlast any high-drain
lithium battery pack.
4. a K-1000 can be used as an effective self-defense weapon
in N.Y.C.
Relax Bill...I've seen your work in the gallery...handing you
an MZ-S would be like handing a fine cabinetmaker an
electric screwdriver...(Although if I hit the Powerball lottery
this week I'm gonna send ya one...)
Best Regards...Bob
