I had to fill in a questionnaire to win a a900 with Zeiss 24-70, has to be mine as surely no one else will have bothered:thumbs: You could put in a comment on the system, mine was I wanted a full frame with 16mp sensor. When I talked to a Sony guy about it he said "Well that is gap that could be filled "No nudge, nudge, wink, wink, say no more" He just said it*.
Not sure you can read anything into the comment, well I couldn't. However I'm currently as unreliable as ever as I'm currently struggling with "The Heart Sutra" and loosing the will to be a photographer any more.
you must know it "Form is emptiness, emptiness is form. Form is none other than emptiness, emptiness is none other than form". Even the Dalai Lamas DVD:angel: on the subject isn't helping much. :wtf::wtf:
*You know what I mean. Someone says something and you immediately put your own interpretations and preconceptions on what they say. That is instead of actually experiencing what they actually say, empty of your projections. Form is emptiness bit. Next you have to even rid yourself of the concept of emptiness, which is just another ultimately false / limiting factor so you just see the "Isness" of the thing (Zen viewpoint). Emptiness is form bit. Lets not even go into the next two statements. No wonder some of the Arhats listening to this discourse by the Buddha died of heart attacks when they heard it.
This is actually making me think I should give up photography and go and sit up a mountain again. However, got several shoots booked for the next couple of months which I'm trying to approach from the viewpoint of Shunyata as described above. Not sure how clients are going to deal with this; I don't even know how I am. I would really like to be beyond that level that is where emptiness takes on a luminous quality. Like looking through a Zeiss 135 f1.8 on a a900 compared with 135 f5.6 on a Zenith.
So does it even matter where Sony goes?
Told you I was confused
