If a good photographer can overcome bad equipment, why is it such a leap of logic that better equipment may well help a mediocre photographer to take better pictures?
Better technically - sure. They will be better exposed, in sharper focus, etc. Better artistically - obviously not. However, what the mediocre photographer will think of themselves? Methinks that's the interesting one to consider.
How about better equipment making the process easier/more pleasurable? If the camera "just works better", then would it not make better pictures no matter what class of photographer is pushing the button?
Yes, that's why they invented automatic gearboxes...
If equipment didn't matter, St. Ansel would probably have used a Minolta 110 since it would have been easier to hump it around Yosemite.
We can't prove or disprove that. St. Ansel is not around for interview. Boris -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
