| Seriously at what point does it stop becoming photography? Or I guess I should say at what does this stop being fun? Why not just get a point and shoot? Isn 't lens selection an artistic choice (like depth of field)? I doubt Robert Frank, William Eggleston, or Eliot Porter would have needed this. Is the point to take an exact representation of what your eye would see? What are the parameters it uses when telling what lens you should put on the camera?
I suppose this would have some application if you were shooting pictures for advertising. I suppose.
I think Robert Frank took the whole The American's series photos with one 50mm lens. Weegee had a Graflex with one focal length. How many different lenses did Richard Avedon or Diane Arbus use?
I don't see the point. If you can't figure out what lens to use get an Optima. |
