Forums > Back > Prefer expensive crap optics over cheap crap optics?

Well, the market always discovers new niches for people with lots of money to spend. For instance: in the DSLR world, everything is big and heavy, and some photographers can get their satisfaction by buying and showing off a 600mm f/4. This doesn't hold true in the small world of mirrorless... et voilà, you have titanium and gold, and limited editions.

Of course, I'm not saying that all owners of the 600mm f/4 only get it for showing off. It's that I've read a number of reports by famous photographers telling some enlightening stories...
