[QUOTE="chrisc, post: 855408, member: 746"] Its bound to be illusive. Same as buying a fairly fancy car. The newer (and always more expensive) model has desirable bells and whistles that makes it attractive. That is part and parcel of our consumer society and its difficult to resist, especially if you have a fair bit of disposable income I would not use the word "curse". Have a friend who belongs to a photographic society. There are those who talk incessantly about their equipment, especially lenses, and there are those who take nice pictures. One old lady who takes superb pics uses a 1960-era Leica she bought in East Germany. No gimmicks, no frills, just superb composition. Her father worked for Leine Riefenstahl, who was one of the top movie-makers in the Nazi period. Whatever you might think of the Nazis, they knew how to make good cameras and lenses [/QUOTE]
