Well he's obviously not a serious photographer! Imagine, only picking a
piece of equipment because it gives you the results want? Does this fool
think cameras and lenses are just tools for making photographs? Doesn't he
know that what's important is the amount of brass showing through the
finish, or the particular revision of the lens he's using, or whether the
lens is the same one used by Henri CB or some other paragon of Leicritude?
