Hi,
This is a question that I've been asking myself for some time. Suppose you're
on the road with your favourite body and lens. For me, that's a 4Ti with a
90mm/f2.0. For others it could be an OM2SP with a 250mm/f2.0, or for you it
could be your old but trustworthy OM1 with a 50mm/f1.8. It doesn't matter too
much.
It's raining like hell. Maybe you're on a little island and there's plenty of
spray from the sea. Maybe you're in a sand storm in a desert, or in the woods
with plenty of crap flying around.
Do you take out the camera to take a picture of that oh-so impressive weather ?
Knowing that it might work this time and next time, but one day it will break
your favourite camera ?
I was considering this while visiting south Ireland (Co.Kerry). In the woods,
it was really hot and humid and the rain came pouring down, and a companion's
Min*lta whish-bang plastic-fantastic gave up. My OM happily shot everything I
wanted. I'm not going to stop myself from doing this, but I know that one day,
I might find a group of nice vegetables inhabiting my beloved lens, or worse.
How do you feel about this dilemma ?
Peter.
