Sadly, many people try to test their lenses, but get disappointed and think they have a defective product when all they've found is its limits, or more often, limitations in their own technique. Let me assure you, every product has its limits, and with digital cameras today, anyone can find them.

Only idiots find something's limits, and let themselves get stuck there complaining about it. It's every artist's duty to find his tools' limitations so he can work around them. Americans didn't walk on the moon in 1969 by sitting around complaining about all the reasons we couldn't get there.

Canon Zoom 7.2-28.8mm 1:2.0-3.0 on Canon G5. 2011. Canon S90.

这是我找上 Canon G5 的其中一个原因。几个月前室友知道我买了这架二手 G5 时，第一个反应是“迟了很多代啊”。另一个朋友鼓励我买最新的 Canon G12，可是我不舍得。就这样和 G5 相处了几个月，而我也没有后悔。

除了重新检讨基础，G5 还提供了一个跑道。这个跑道上很多栏要跨，每当我要达到终线之前，一定要想尽办法跨过每一道栏。一场场简单的100米短跑变成了100米跨栏竞赛，练力练气练毅力。
