Exquisite technology never grows old. For example, this shot was taken with a 60+ year old 135mm f 2.8 Steinheil lens given to yours truly by his grandfather. The shapness of the image is as good as it gets, something truly remarkable in this day and age of advanced technology. As an added bonus, the beast is incased in solid aircraft grade alumenum weighing almost 3 lbs, a weapon of mass destruction if there ever was one. Without question, Gramps knew what quality mean't, something Robert Persig waxed poetic about in his two masterworks, Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance and Lila.
