How many beliefs do you hold weakly? I don\'t bother to have weak opinions. I have none, or I believe something firmly. YMMV.

spoken like a true gear head. of course you \"firmly believe\" - as are all your beliefs, I\'m sure.

ask Michael Stipe or Mozart about how many tight constraints they forced upon themselves. but then again, you probably would not see the equivalence given you hardly approach photography as an art form.

there are so many types of photography that it would be impossible to make any such categorical statement. certainly no artist ever would about whatever their format - the great ones would simply say \'the rules are there to be broken\'.

is that so?

I took a workshop with Joe McNally a few years back - I would consider him personally amazing (and humble) and his work extraordinary:

here are the lenses that are \'in his bag\':

Not a single MF - and perish the thought - quite a few zooms!


Please post a link to a shot which is amazing and would have been impossible with MF.
