While I appreciate all the testing and research you pixel peepers do, I have to just shrug and go shoot.

Sharon, as in all things in life, there must be a balance.
I have images that I have taken where the light was perfect, the scene moved me spiritually and the camera took the shot.
Upon examination, the shot sucked but the visual at the time the shutter was clicked was magical.
I try to balance the "tool" I am using with what I consider to be just a wee bit more than adequate for the moment in time and price.
As I said before, the 500cm and Leaf 45+ was quite adequate and produced one of my very favorite image.
But being the Beast that I am, I had to just "stick my toes in the water" to see if there 100 would give me what I want in the manner I JUDGE the "tool" I want to use.
I am now going to define IF the GFX 50S, which I have already defined the 100 does not do it for ME, surpass the Hasselblad H4D 60 that I have on my desk. I just bought a HC 28mm with less than 2K clicks on it and deliver is this afternoon.
Not a difficult task to guess where I will be at this afternoon - back shooting the pond that I tested the 50S against the 100!
In short, do you think if I was a watercolor painter I would be comfortable using brushes I got at Sherman Williams paint store, or would I sample what it at Blick?
I'm still sampling ....... and just having fun doing that. Please don't take this thread too seriously, I'm not.
Just a learning and sharing tool in my mind.
