looks as if it was cut out with a razor, or an image that successfully
captured the moment, mood, etc., that you saw? As to any pro needing
MLU....It all depends what the pro specializes in...if one is a pro who
shoots people, rather than landscapes or other static objects, and shoots
them in real-life/real-time, rather than nailed to a wall in a studio, MLU
is utterly useless....It's uselessness is, in fact, one of the strong
arguments in favor of rangefinder cameras....IMHO..
