I have - yes, I have. Out of curiosity my wife and I regularly watch Joyce Meyer preaching on television and attended a faith meeting at her mega-church once. She makes so much sense in her preaching - it's just good, forgiving, faithful generous society. We really shouldn't look down our noses - in so many ways they are correct in their actions and behaviors.
I wore a dark, wool suit, as I do at the staid, Episcopal church my wife and I have attended all our lives - and have never felt so out of place. Yet everyone - EVERYONE - whose eye I caught or who had cause to greet me or touch me was kind and generous and welcoming and cheerful.
Truly, I understand the attraction of the 'seeker' churches.
Sometimes the old lenses render their subjects in a fashion that we have forgotten how to appreciate. :cool:

fredralphfred's irony is too subtle by half :)My parish flock has aged to the point that we recently installed nice cushions on the wooden pew seats. Now, while sitting for instruction, we can actually concentrate on the Lessons.
Sometimes it is beneficial to soften rigid dogma.

Huh.
I guess I'm a generation too young to really know the answer.

The FA43 - a 1997 release - is damned near an 'older lens from the film era' (but I am well aware you mean 60's and 70's MF lenses).
Carefully selected, the best of the classic old lenses are actually quite capable on digital, IMHO (barring the fringing issues mentioned above). Critics often mistake lenses designed for an older aesthetic, which emphasized soft edges and a sharp center to bring the subject 'forward' in the frame, as inferiority in our current 'corner-to-corner- sharpness-obsessed world.
