For the past few days I’ve been working with a Canon 50mm f/1.2L lens from Canon Professional Services. It’s a fantastic lens: built solidly, weather-sealed, fast, smooth bokeh. I’m hoping to get a 35mm f/1.4L from CPS next, as it’s one that a few of my friends absolutely rave about. And I’d like to see a 1D Mk. IV, and wouldn’t mind comparing my 5D Mk. II to the 1Ds Mk. III.
But, as much as I like new equipment, any camera is better than no camera, and no camera guarantees excellent pictures. Gear is no replacement for experience, and lack of gear should not be a limiting factor for any photographer. Instead, we should all aspire to make the most with what we have.
Even people like me, who enjoy tinkering…
Agreed.
Also as a side note: David I absolutely hate the + that shows up on your blog instead of a cursor. It is annoying and drives me nuts. This might just be me, or your entire audience. I say we take a vote.
Fixed it! Thanks, Vivian….you weren’t alone.
