Zen and the art of the MP-E 65
Recently I lent my MP-E 65 macro lens to two colleagues at work. Both are very good photographers but had never used this lens before. Interestingly, neither one was able to come up with decent shots from the lens.
Comments that I heard were
“I just don’t have that much patience.”
“I took a number of shots, but they all came out blurry”
I feel like some sort of zen master, when I prognose that the reason that they failed to take good shots had nothing to do with their photography skills (they’re both better than I), but that they were unable to find their inner peace to use the lens correctly.
