While this post is made in jest, it brings up something I've been thinking about. When asked to list a favorite lens, my gut reaction is to say "my right eye." Why not my left eye? Well, it requires a filter to focus past ~7 feet. I find this filter rather annoying. With my brain as the camera, my right eye can do things that no lens can do. Much sharper than a prime lens, it can zoom! Futhermore, it has the ability to have great depth of field while defocusing other suibjects of the field of view. Bokeh! Bah! I don't have to worry about bokeh! Distortion - 0%. No need to worry about pincushion or barrel. Wide angle, heck yeah! And rectilinear at that! Panoramic? No problem there. I've always thought I was a much better photographer in my own mind <VBG>. So when Shel suggest a way to transform the images in our minds into photos, I say, sign me up!
