[QUOTE="BackdoorArts, post: 729775, member: 9240"] And I totally get that. For anyone who shoots only for themselves it's likely a luxury. I repeat myself not to twist an arm but to plant a seed for the time when you might be ready to think otherwise. When I started out shooting wildlife I used to run into guys out there with these long, expensive prime lenses who would show me their spectacularly sharp photos, and I would say to myself, "Yeah, but for what I'm doing to have to spend $X,XXX to $YY,YYY isn't justifiable." 7 years later 95% of my wildlife shooting is done with a pair of primes. That I've gone through that process makes a piece of software that takes the images coming out of those lenses up a notch and costs about as much as dinner out is easily justifiable, particularly when I consider that selling 2 or 3 prints of a fox I shot this week will repay me for most of what I've ever spent on Topaz.
