Cult of Sharpness

I want to join the 'Cult of Sharpness' - anyone else in?

You know you want to.

If there are enough of us we can force lens makers to make sharper lenses.
If not, they will continue to make 'defective', (i.e., soft) lenses.

Are you in?

Now, if perchance you decided to start a club that included people who
found photographic subjects and compositions that are so astounding and awe
inspiring, no matter the resolution, count me in.

Hardware worshippers are nothing but idiot crapshot artists and internet
trolls. Consider yourself part of their club.

You can make a sharp lens soft, but you can't make a soft lens sharp.

The 'Cult of Cheapness' is a powerful foe. Be careful of your words.

There isn't much wrong with the available sharp lenses.

Sharp (and fast) goes with price, esp as FL goes up.

Sharp lenses can be made to produce soft shots.

Soft lenses can be made softer still. But not sharper.

I'm not clear what you want to achieve. I thought that for any given
exchangeable lens camera it was possible to get a lens with at least
slightly higher resolution than its sensor -- if you were prepared to
pay for it.

But it sounds as though you want to stop them making soft lenses
altogether. If you can buy the sharp lenses you want, why would you
want to stop them making the much cheapr and not so sharp lenses that
most people are happy with?

there already are sharp lenses out there, what your probably confusing them
with is "cheap" lenses
If you want sharp you have to part with some folding first :-)

That thing was soft as ****e.

Wow. What about a club for people who imagine ridiculous dichotomies?
