Who cares?

Increasingly I find that as long as a camera/lens combo isn't outrageous -- 500mm mirror on DSLR, that sort of thing -- I'm not really worried about focal length or speed if all I need is a shooting 'fix' (taking pics for the fun of it).

I grab whatever camera is handy and loaded, with whatever lens it has on it, and go out and take pictures. Then, when/if I change the lens (because I NEED the different focal length or speed) I need quite a kick to make me change that, too.

Of course I'm happier with some cameras and enses than others, but this just means I change my favourites even less often. Equally obviously, there are some lenses I use for specific purposes, e.g. pack shots and step-by-steps, but that's not the same as taking pics for the fun of it.

Anyone else find the same thing?

Cheers,

R.
