I find the essayist's snoopy metaphor silly and demeaning. And while he admits

redefined photographic excellence. The writer continues to demonstrate his lack
of photographic knowledge in asserting that an f64 aperture results in both
optimum depth of field and clarity. Depth of field, yes. Clarity, no.
Doesn't that depend on the focal length? Whether you're using a 6mm
lens on a point and shoot, 30mm on an APS, 50mm on a 35mm, or 300mm on
an 8x10?
