Guys and gal. :-) 

 

About lenses and which did, does whatever, means diddly squat if you have no
idea what the hell the light and moment of content is all about in the first
place.

 

Oh you get some kind of Leica 50 mystique one over the other 50 or
otherwise. But in the great realities of life they mean el zero when it
comes down to the content and light! And or "is it a nice picture with a
50mm lens?" Or any other lens!

 

All that really matters regardless of the good intentions of the 50mm folks,
is what matters to the following... "The ordinary grand father, G-ma or
father-mother! Will they love the picture?"

 

And if you shot it with a $10,000 dollar whatever lens it wont matter if
it's a Leica 50, a Panasonic whatever or Nikon coke bottle! Or any other
derivate of the focal length! Basics count!

 

The basic facts of life are.. "Does the family love it?" :-) If they do you
have a winner of a picture!:-)

 

Need I say more about a successful moment? :-)
