I Just Love What Ken Rockwell Says:

Oct 22, 2011

'The only lens anybody really needs is a 50mm. lens. Any other lens is a distraction. You can't take good photos if you are constantly distracted by trying to decide what lens to use'. In other words, he is saying, 'less is more'. This has always been my phylosopy. http://www.kenrockwell.com

I guess I'll keep my Leica R6.2 Simmilux f/1.4, 50mm. lens for my new NEX-7 and I'm glad I didn't order the lens for it. This will be the only lens I'll need.
