But in photography there is some sort of assumption that a photographer is a photographer is a photographer. Is Jim Marshall "limited" by using only Leica Ms? Is Salgado "limited" by using an M, an R, and just a handful of lenses? Was Ansel Adams "limited" because he almost exclusively shot landscapes and did that almost exclusively with large format cameras? Etc. etc. etc. I would argue that if a photographer does a particular form of photography better than most of his peers, he or she will succeed professionally - using what ever equipment he or she is comfortable using.
