Every year I use shots from that year. Typically I get out two or three evenings or mornings and burn through one to two rolls each time. On average I probably get two good shots per roll. So no, I am not shooting every day, but usually any given shot is only two to four days old when posted. Most shots this year have been shot with on topic equipment, but I must admit that brand C's L telephoto zoom with a 500T close up lens has proven to be very useful about 20% of the time. As to the roots of the lens, with the exception of the new designs coming out of Solms, most lenses are variations of lens designs first started 40-100 years ago. The exception would be Zoom lenses which are still being analysed for best design. What matters is how the lens cuts film or sensors and how you use it; which you did with panache.
