Any camera in the right hands can produce outstanding results just as the same camera, misused, can produce mediocre ones. In the end " it ain't what you have that counts but what you do with what you have that determines the final outcome". By the same token, to produce a good photograph, sharpness, ASPH, APO, bokeh, and micro-costrast - the most talked about subjects at the LUG (besides single malt)- are the very least important ingredients. Lasting visual impact based on contant, timing, and composition -in other words aesthetics - are far more important.
