Take someone starting out with a good eye and mediocre equipment and give them first rate glass and please step out of the way. When I was teaching a B&W class I loaned an SL/50Cron to one of my students whose camera had died. What he turned in for his final project was simply stunning. It wasn't just that the images were sharper, it was that he seemed to meld with the equipment and his vision expanded. So, yes a very talented photographer can make most junk create wonderful images, and great gear won't turn average eyes into Abel, but in the middle group of talented people great gear can expand the vision especially if that gear fits the working style of the photographer. more pfennigs into the fire Don dorysrus@mindspring.com
