He knows - I'd like to think - that a good photographer can get a good image with any reasonably good camera. Do people have their favorites? Sure - my favorite for film is a Leica M ;-). Are there some cameras that allow one to get a shot that would otherwise be extremely difficult, if not impossible to get? Sure. But I'd wager that any of the people on this list with real skill will acknowledge that they could pick up whatever camera was at hand and get to work. As to his dig at the E-1 - I'll let the results, which I regularly post, speak for themselves. ;-) On 5/28/05 10:44 PM, "Slobodan Dimitrov" <s.dimitrov@charter.net> wrote: > It's a subjective comment from a photographer.
