I suppose your comment, John is that all of this is "much ado about nothing". Perhaps you are also of the mindset that all wines taste the same.
Great photographs are not totally dependent upon great equipment, but that doesn't mean that there aren't differences in that equipment and that some people will be able to notice that difference (and want to have the better tool in their toolbelt). Certainly those who wish to remain ignorant are free do do so. Those who can't discern the difference would be silly to care. It is also a waste of time to try to educate anyone who doesn't want to be educated. But I suggest that you don't have to have the greatest pair of eyes in the world to discern the difference and to decide for yourself which was the superior optical design (the 8 element or the cheaper to build 7 element): http://www.addicted2light.com/2013/07/08/battle-of-the-50s-an-update-on-the-pentax-takumar-war/ On Wed, Aug 14, 2013 at 8:59 AM, John <[email protected]> wrote: > Pin, Straight - one each - head for angels dancing upon > > > -- > 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. -- "Photography is a Bastard left by Science on the Doorstep of Art" - Peter Galassi -- 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.
