Case in point, plastic lens mounts. Not only do they have their mount flanges break, which never or almost never happens to metal, they generate fine dust every time a lens is removed or replaced and this can get into the optics and the camera body.

It broke easier than that, perhaps because of the metal mounting.

Today I had the displeasure of seeing 12 cheap old Pentax 35mm-70mm zoom lenses. PURE plastic. All 12 were broken. Not because the plastic broke however, but because the glue needed to glue crappy plastic parts together failed. Metal camera parts don't have that problem, because in most cases, they SCREW them together.

Any of us can also boast that he can make the best photos in the world, and then refuse to show any to prove it. You are on the same stand as religious miracles. Either we believe, or we don't.

That's because you and your kind are the most lost of all. "There are none so lost as those who follow." Think about it. I'm sure you have the time. You probably don't have the mental acuity to comprehend that, but you most certainly have the time. Only DSLR proponents are followers. They can never think for themselves. Even worse, they doubt their choices so much that they don't feel vindicated unless they can convince everyone else to believe as they believe and make the same camera purchasing mistakes that they make in life. The greater their insistence to have others buy DSLRs the more they show their insecurity in their own decision to do so. Just like those who doubt their religions the most, always being the most vocal about wanting others to believe as they do. Because if they can convince someone else, then perhaps they can stop doubting their own beliefs so much. It's that simple. Further, there is no need to prove anything to the likes of you. True professionals who have used all manner of cameras discover what I said all on their own. They already know these things of which I speak. I'm just letting you know how true professionals think. You, on the other hand, are revealing to the whole world your thoughts of a snapshooting, blind-following, DSLR-preaching, insecure fool. Go ahead, prove it some more. It's fun watching you fools continue to do so. |
