Six years ago I was doing some wedding photography for another
company. Many of you might recall some of my spewings about the
Canon I was forced to shoot. After a few weddings of suffering
through the horrid images (no dimensionality to them at all) and
wrist pain, I started shooting the "good stuff" with my OM-2S.
Boy did I hear it. The rep got right after me because the
pictures were "too good for what we charge". The lab
immediately recognized that "something wasn't the same". I said
"screw it" a month later and went back to just doing my own.
Besides, I found that charging a little more acted as a great
filter to the trailer park crowd. I was getting tired of trying
to photograph weddings where the B&G were drunk, high or both.
