But the few I know personally want to be more creative (one works for a weekly, though, there's _somewhat_ more time there for creativity). One war reporter and when not in war a normal PJ uses a lot his 1.4/35mm for creative DOF, even in plain daylight (I guess the 1/8000 speed of these bodies helps there<g>). Even for normal, fast, reportage. I must admit, his photographs are really good, they stand out of the usual PJ snappers crowd.
