I think you misread my original message: I wrote that I was deliberately
ignoring tons of other variables, like these.
Variables like fascination with a certain subject and preference for a
certain type of film are chosen in one's head. There's no camera knob
for any of them.
However, the moment it actually comes to lifting the camera to one's
eyes and taking the photo, shutter speed and aperture are, for me, the
major remaining artistic choices I have to make where the camera
interface comes to play. For choosing where to point the camera and how
to frame the subject I use my muscles, not camera knobs.
So, my point was: the pentax modeless interface nicely focusses one's
attention, when dealing with the camera, one two of the major variables
where the camera actually is relevant - and those variables are few,
compared to the vastness of psychological variables.
