Originally posted by Paul the Sunman It is clear that it is utterly impossible to say 40,000 sensible things about Pentax in a month (lifetime?). Encouraging verbal flatulence on this site does humanity no favours. It is quality that should be encouraged, not quantity.
This one is better than last one (the 15 & 77mm LTD one), maybe because likes aren't a requirement.
Besides, a rapid count shows that with this pace the 40k mark can't be attained within the month.
Regarding macro, I've always found the reproduction ratio to be kinda meaningless, or bettert means something when used on the same sensor, even better on the same camera.
It doesn't take into account quality, croppability and, more important, final viewing size, resolution & distance.
Because in the end we all kinda
look at the pictures we take, don't we?
Maybe it had more sense when you printed what you shot, no cropping, and all done on 35mm film? were other formats used for macro, in the age of film?
