Ansel Adams, on Photography technology...

"Your equipment DOES NOT affect the quality of your image. The less time and effort you spend worrying about your equipment the more time and effort you can spend creating great images. The right equipment just makes it easier, faster or more convenient for you to get the results you need. (...) Any good modern lens is corrected for maximum definition at the larger stops. Using a small stop only increases depth..." Ansel Adams, June 3, 1937

I thoughts this article was quite interesting on photography technology v.s. the Art: http://www.kenrockwell.com/tech/notcamera.htm, specially as I'm contemplating acquireing the new Nikon Lens that every professional photographer is raving about: the Nikkor 18-200mm AF-S DX VR f/2.5-5.6G IF-ED Lens
