What film you'd use to do this with. Color neg, slide, black and white. What you had for breakfast this morning and what you plan to have for dinner tonight. Do you think you'd prefer working with mainly wide angles? Your opinions on meters in cameras or hand held. Flash? Winders? Fill in that questionnaire and i know I'll be able to give you some very specific ideas of what i think you should get. And so could a lot of us. Really. I think a "solid system" is based on use first. Then simple preference. I'm sure half of us use a certain lens because we like the way it looks. Or we like the sound of the word "Summilux" as it rolls off our lips.
