[QUOTE="DW_, post: 47426, member: 8667"] As a lens snob I fully agree with your premise and feel you have a valid point. I see people often mismatching body to glass. Why a person would stick a Sigma-anything on a D3x I'll never know. And the opposite is very true, too. Just spend a few minutes reading the reviews on a few pro-level lenses on Amazon and you're hear stories of people with a D5100 putting on a 24mm F/1.4G and complaining how it's not as "sharp" as their kit lens. However, high quality lenses will not make any difference if you're not printing larger than 4" x 6" or your images live primarily on the internet. Also keep in mind we're all on a learning journey and not everyone takes the same path to satisfy that creative itch. And if the bug calls for a chest-thumping D800, then so be it. For people like myself (and possibly you), this approach would not work and we'd be constantly "seeing" issues in our images that may or may not actually be there. [/QUOTE]
