So, your take on a discussion about the merits and characteristics of the wide variety of lenses available is that, "a lens is a lens is a lens" and all anybody needs is one, because they're all pretty much the same? I've wondered if that is the real deal sometimes myself!
Because, like, I already have a perfectly good putter in my golf bag, right? Why would I want another one? They're all just oblong blocks on the end of a pole, right?
So let's just sit here, in this, what's-it-called, a photography forum, and talk about nothing. Let's just simply sit here, savor the ennui, and stare vacantly into space! With any luck someone will mistake us for indigents, and take us to some home where we won't have to think or discuss anything ever again, and get three hot meals daily and a cozy cot, and a nice, sunny lawn where we can sit and drool and watch the cars go by, day after day, ad infinitum.
Yeah, that's the ticket!
