I DON'T GET IT. I JUST DON'T GET IT. That is, I just don't get the fascination / obsession with photography gear. However, as Julian's grandmother said, "For every pot there's a lid." No question about it, she had a point and I guess the gearheads have found their lid.
Be that as it may, for me, re: the medium of photography and its apparatus, IT'S ABOUT THE PICTURES, STUPID.
Now don't get the wrong idea. I fully understand and embrace the idea that, for any given desire to make specific kinds of pictures or to express one's vision, a picture maker would seek out the type of camera that best suits his/her picture making intention, BUT....
....once that tool has been selected, the whole point of the thing is to make pictures. And, in doing so, it's best to "forget" about the tool because, pride of ownership aside, the tool does not make the picture other than in the mechanical sense.
The most important tool is in the picture makers head, heart and soul. That is, how he/she sees the world, aka: his/her very own personal vision. That is, something you can not buy over the counter at B&H.
