Just wondering what you guys think.

Marcio Napoli

in the 1980's. Whenever he was hired for a job session, he always used the same old Hasselblad 500C with a 80mm C lens.  The photos were outstanding, and this is the reason he got hired repeatedly.

One day, someone checked his equipment, and find out that the 80mm C lens was broken, taped together, and only useable at aperture f/5.6.

The morale is: The subject of interest and the soul of the photographer is the dominant factor, and the gear is just a vehicle to capture what is in the photographer's mind.

Oops, who throws a bricks at my head?
