So there's always a thread within a page or two of the first asking, "Is an
L Worth It?" or similar. I thought a humorous, anti-L thread would be fun.
So without further ado, I present, "Why Not An L?"
1) Metal. They're cold in the winter and your tongue will stick to them.
You'll even have to get them LensCoats to keep them warm.
2) White. I mean, really. You have a black camera - why would you want a
white lens? It totally clashes. Not to mention, people will point and
stare at you.
3) Heavy. Why get a big, heavy lens when space-age plastics can give you
the same focal length at half the weight? Even glass is made out of plastic
these days. Surely these lenses hail from the 70's or something.
4) Expensive. Who wants one lens at $2k when they can get two for the same
price? Duh!
5) Lots of glass. This is the 21st century! We should be thinking "green"
and recycling glass, not putting it all into these monstrous lenses.
