I believe it was the English race driver Stirling Moss who once got into
this argument with someone. I don't remember all of the details, but the
gist of the story is that he took a brick truck (literally a brick truck)
out on the race course and came within very few seconds of the record at the
Brands Hatch (SP) raceway. Proving once again that a master is a master
regardless of the tool in his hand.

Also, didn't Irving Penn once shoot a job with a Kodak Brownie Hawkeye to
prove a point?
