Could it be that aside of a few LUG professionals and others who make good
photos for a living or for profit, the rest of us are too concerned about
the latest, sharpest, bokehest, and microcontrastiest instead of art, soul,
and content?

As an example I will name only one instance: Of all the sample photos shown
by LUG members which were taken with a Noctilux, I cannot name a single one
whose pictorial merit would justify the enormous expenses of such a lens.
