So how much more detail do you really gain when you choose one of the world's finest and most expensive lenses (over four grand) and high resolution cameras, over a (admittedly good one) $600 pocket camera?

I agree with many people who think we are now at a time in the camera marketplace where Good Enough wins!
ReplyDeleteI just took a picture of the road outside my window with a small Panasonic, lit by streetlights. Exposure: 1/5 second at f/4, ISO 1600. Too slow to stop movement. With the Otus I could have set 1/20 second at f/2, and probably (since it will be on a full frame DSLR) 1/40 second or faster at a higher ISO. That's the reason for wanting an Otus, not how it performs at f/5 in daylight.
