OK, I was at a L*ica store today, and two things happened that just
amazed me.
First, two ladies walked in and asked "What is your cheapest film?" And
the owner produced it, and she said, isn't there anything cheaper?
Amazing.. The owner then said what I thought, for a few cents more,
don't you want to take the best pictures you can take? The price
differences was rediculous; about 3 cents US... between a Fuji and a
no-name... He's like, this is what you want to buy.. So he gave her
the fuji, despite the snarled look on her face..
So next, we have a guy who's got a Leica M7 with a 50mm f2.0
Summicron... So he's like.. "Wow, your pictures are stunning, mine
don't come out that great... must be the lens... What can I do to the
lens to change that?" Do to the lens???? I've not shot with a Leica
50mm f2, but I suspect it's every bit as sharp or sharper then my Zuiko
50mm f1.8. I asked him, what film do you use? Kodak Max 400. Where do
you get it processed? The local 7-11 one hour lab.. He said because
it's about a buck cheaper...
Errr... how much is a Leica M7?? How much is that lens? How much are
you trying to save??
The logic eludes me greatly... Someone explain it to me.. I have
cognitive dissonance..
