Sometimes a capable camera, in the hands of a capable photographer, is better
than the latest "thing" in the hands of the latest photographer.
Of course, I'm one of those old farts still using cameras with bellows* and
sheet film when I feel like getting serious, which means shooting for some REAL
quality. If I go to the incredible bother of putting up a tripod, there's most
likely going to be something better than 35mm or anything digital on top.
Doesn't mean I don't love my OMs, though; I just hand-hold them most of the
time, firmly, but lovingly, like they were intended to be.

*Morons who think "bellows" is plural and advertise that the "bellow" is in
good condition make me want to bellow "Illiterate Retard" right into their one
good stupid ear.
