Not everyone is into photography because they enjoy taking photographs belive it or not. Some see photography as a means to talk on forums such as this about speculation and other "techie" talk. Having debates which require alot of math and engineering knowledge which goes over most peoples head is fun for these type of folks.
Other simply seem to enjoy performing test of lenses and collecting the very best optics possible regard of price. The quest for "the best" if the fun. Trying rare lenses, searching the internet for them and finally getting them is the thrill.
Some people simply love taking pictures and dont care much about their gear at all.
You get all kinds of people on forums like this. Its the same with most anything though. One of my guitar "playing" friends actually enjoys the collecting of guitars more than playing. He cant really play worth a lick actually but owns like 20 guitars. They hang all over his house and many are autographed and very rare. He loves to talk on a guitar forum with others who like talking about pickups, what date code was the best year, how they changed the headstock by .1" in 1982 etc etc
I could tell him to just go and play, but thats really not what he enjoys.
So if some people here like discussing camera's and speculation more than taking photos, more power to them I say. It doesnt hurt me any and I dont have to read threads like this
though as it stands, while I do enjoy actually taking pictures, its intrested to at least take a look at the threads and see what the rumors are and it will be intresting to see how accurate they turned out to be
The Big Bad....very well said!!
