>>4024987I took my best shots with a Nikon D40 and a Sigma 30mm 1.4 lens that missed focus about 30% of the time and had half the barrel paint peeled and looked awful (similar to pic related). Then I got sucked into the GAS train and got a bunch of different cameras (D90, Nex-C3, D600, D750 and recently X-T30) and lenses over the years (nikkor 50/1.8g, 20/1.8g, 24/1.8g, 85/1.8g, 180/2.8, sigma 100/2.8 OS macro, fuji 18-55, 35/1.4, 90/2 and a bunch of manual focus lenses that I mostly resold). Despite having technically superior tools, my shots didn't really get any better. I started obsessing over things like bokeh and field curvature and corner sharpness and eventually I realized my shots were technically sound, but the soul was missing, and my passion for the hobby began to crumble to a point where I almost never get out shooting unless I'm on a trip, because I'm afraid I will never be that good again. I miss those days of careless shooting and not obsessing over gear, of just being in the moment enjoying what I had, instead of obsessing over the next best thing. I learned that being limited helps bring out my creative side, so my advice is to find what works for you, and stick to it.
