Hi Guys..
Every Pentaxian out there, in fact EVERY photographer, should read
the May 2001 issue of 'POPULAR PHOTOGRAPHY', page 26 article by
Herb Keppler...For those of you who can't or don't wanna buy the mag,
I'll give you a quick synopsis:
Question: Can you see the difference between pix shot with
a $3000.00 Leica M-6 (50mm f2.0) and a Spotmatic (50mm f1.4)
?
Answer: No (actually ,magazine repros from the Spot are stronger)
After I read the 2 page article 6 times and my adrenalin started to
cool down, I realised that there were some WONDERFUL themes
here:
1. A photographer stepping out his/her front door with SLR in hand
should NEVER, EVER be intimidated by the idea of not having the
"best" (most expensive) gear.
2. The concepts " WE'LL NEVER WIN THE BASKETBALL
CHAMPIONSHIP WITHOUT xxyy SNEAKERS" and "THE CLOTHES
WILL NEVER BE REALLY CLEAN WITHOUT wwwzz DETERGENT"
are completely contrived and artificial.
3. Pentax < IRON and GLASS > is second to NONE.
I'm glad you guys are out there.............
Bob G.
