Content is king, but a great lens can make a photo of mediocre content interesting.
The fancy lens makes it more interesting to whom??
Makes it more interesting to the photographer with their nose, glued to the screen.
But not more interesting to the consumer… And that’s my point.
Look around your house at the photography books, magazines, posters, etc., etc.
Can you tell me which lens was used? Can your friend who’s over for dinner tell?
Just to be clear, I am a photographer and I like nice things too… just making a point about why more photographers don’t invest huge amounts of money on these things.
If everyone who looked at their pictures stopped and said “holy smokes what lens was that?” Then I think there would be more sales.
