I finally saw the difference between a $50 point-and-shoot and my grandpa's old Nikon F2.
Shot the same street scene in Portland with both, and the F2's lens just pulled out details in the brickwork the cheap camera completely missed. Anyone else have a moment where gear quality slapped them in the face?

My old Canon AE-1 with a 50mm f/1.8 did that to me last year. I was shooting some peeling paint on a warehouse door, and the film just captured every crack and rust flake with this crazy depth. My phone camera made the same spot look like a flat, boring wall. It’s wild how much glass matters, even on old cameras.
