1. Collecting gear. These guys constantly compare, measure, benchmark, argue over pointless equivalences and insist on having THE BEST gear that there is to take their 1,000th test shot of their cat and a brick wall.

2. People who like taking photographs. See camera and lenses as tools.

Sadly this is largely a a board and forum for the first set of people.

It isn't. However I am not with Tedolph for preventing people to squander their money.

If that's their fun why try to take it away from them?

However I would rather see this forum grow up towards photography, which, up to a point, is gear-independent.

The West is a very materialistic culture, with Art going to the dogs, so how do you go against the tide?

It happens only rarely, by providing better images. In some forums it happened, after a long incubation.

This one is still brats and pets. No amount of money must be spared to make them look nicer
