Hello Zuikies. I was paging through "The History of Photography" and then
later, "The Keepers of
Light". Both books have photographs made with lenses and equipment that were
"technically"
deplorable by the standards in place even before our venerable OM series
was introduced.
Uncoated, simple slow lenses, snail's pace film emulsions, and extremely
cumbersome equipment
did not deter these photographers from creating some of the most beautiful
work that still holds
up today. We get so caught up in lens quality and acquisition that it gets
easy to forget that
one lens, a 36 exposure roll of film, and a lot of care is all we really
need. I've been trying
to figure out how I could afford another peice of equipment, and these books
kind of floored me
with my expensive folly. Very humbling, indeed.
Of course now I think about getting some ancient lenses to get some of
that soft flarey
old-timey "look"... oh well, must procure , must procure... -Marcus
