How many beliefs do you hold weakly? I don\'t bother to have weak opinions. I have none, or I believe something firmly. YMMV.
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.
Pardon? I never said that anyone should force constraints on themselves, simply that when people have constraints, in whatever form, the art that comes out is often extraordinary. Convenience, in the form of AF or whatever, often yields an overflow of mediocrity.
[Joe McNally:] Not a single MF - and perish the thought - quite a few zooms!
So? He is not incapable of making good shots with MF lenses, as his earlier career proves. All the same, I doubt that much of his work, if any, *requires* AF. My point was that many claim that AF is *required*, when really it is not.

I am not the one who is claiming that there is only one way to do things, if you haven\'t paid attention. My point was that many claim that AF is *required*, when really it is not.

Convenience, in the form of AF or whatever, often yields an overflow of mediocrity. Perhaps you should prove something about yourself. I have posted hundreds of shots on this forum, and put my neck out there for anyone to snipe at. You have posted a single link to a website which consists almost exclusively of posed snapshots of your children. Stick your neck out, instead of sniping trollishly from the shadows.
