I can't agree more. I think that those who loathe the state-of-the-
art equipment miss a major point: that's exactly the old-style
cameras that come in the way of your photographic view. If you own an
old all-manual camera, you need to focus on technics: how to get
focusing and metering right, instead of zeroing-in on your subject.
With modern cameras you concentrate on the vision and let the device
compute the distance and exposure.
