I know a girl that plays the piano wunderfull. Her play will be much more faszinating on a bad piano, then a bad players one. But of course it sounds much more wonderful on a great piano that transports her skills much better.
Of course an ambitioned and talented photographer can create great pictures with most gear. And of course he can produce even better ones and a higher hit rate with an advanced camera and greater lenses.
Concerning this funny (yes, I think it was funny) driving a Lamborghini does not enhance the drivers skills automatically. But a skilled driver would get better results if it comes to the point of using itīs capabilities, then in driving a VW beatle.
The most experienced and creative photographer will get into trouble to get a sharp photograph with a shallow lense. But using a fantastic one does not guaranty that any photographer produces stunning results.
Anyway, we live in a free world and anybody should be allowed, to decide what his/her needs are.
Concerning me (and my needs/wishes for now) a 5D III, EF 24-105 L and 70-300 L is/would be an excellent basic for now and the next couple of years.
