We spend so much energy, dollars, and even angst on lens,, a drug maybe,,, but in many ways,,, we are getting such incremental gains.
Here for example is a picture taken with perhaps one of the lowest rated Nikkor Zooms of all time.... the 43-86,, on a FM, about.... 30 years ago.....
take a look at the picture on the ground,,, not bad, the veins of his arms, etc, or the burlap bags,,, this is just ISO 100 old KodaChrome slides.
actually,, the last generation of 43-86 fixed most of the issues, and is bargain lens. People have so much built up bias that this is the worse lens EVER...
that I have seen them close at 8 dollars! but,, if you can get one from say the last 8 years,, like from I think 76 on,, a better mix of glass.
Anyway,, let say,, instead I shot this with the latest best lens ..... the gain would have been incremental.
mmm seems like I was just standing there,, wow,, a fast 30 years. (ok,, 32 years)...
