Sometimes a capable camera, in the hands of a capable photographer, is better 
than the latest "thing" in the hands of the latest photographer.

Of course, I'm one of those old farts still using cameras with bellows* and 
sheet film when I feel like getting serious, which means shooting for some REAL 
quality.  If I go to the incredible bother of putting up a tripod, there's most 
likely going to be something better than 35mm or anything digital on top.  
Doesn't mean I don't love my OMs, though; I just hand-hold them most of the 
time, firmly, but lovingly, like they were intended to be.

*Morons who think "bellows" is plural and advertise that the "bellow" is in 
good condition make me want to bellow "Illiterate Retard" right into their one 
good stupid ear.
