I hate it when I have to explain satire, sarcasm and irony. Its even worse when I have to explain it to you lot.
So I won't.
Never the less, is my point of view, as cynical as it may seem to some, and as humorless as it may seem to others, valueless in the face of such passion for gear?
I am aware that each of you have an opinion on gear and its place in the art, hobby, pass-time, profession, whatever. So do I. You have read it above. I, personally, have no attachment to my gear. Sure, I bought it to do a job, I was also aware at the time that there were many other cameras that would do the job that I wanted to do just as well, maybe even better. I bought what I could afford and fitted into the genre I had already set myself into, again, for economic reasons.
Sure, we can discuss cameras, although I do wonder how deeply we need to go. Sure, we can compare models, although that seems to be a never ending process of catch up. Sure, we can tell our stories about swapping and changing and being indecisive or (un)satisfied.
I was just offering, in my own inimitable manner, another viewpoint which, I'm sure, is shared by at least one other member of this planet.
If not, I stand alone.
