In general, that's a good way to approach it. But sometimes, a new piece of equipment can inspire you to see differently. For instance, I bought a Skink pinhole kit for the M-bayonet mount. I'm delighted to find that it opens up a whole new way of seeing, delighted enough to buy another one for my FourThirds SLR mount (which changes the effective focal length so it will see differently once more ...). But overall, most times we do better just to keep learning and using the axe we know and reach to see differently, and deeper. -- Godfrey godfreydigiorgi.posterous.com -- 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.
