<p>Asking for a new lens to be pushed into a new direction seems to me a very curious expectation.<br>

The lenses you've already got make me both sad and envious since it would take me the next five years to make the money to buy them!<br>

The second reaction I had was to quickly check your portfolio since the implied idea of exhausting all the possibilities of those beautiful lenses seemed surreal, to say the least.<br>

In spite of these kind photographers suggesting nice lenses they would like to play with I would say: do not buy anything, just take photos, again and again and again.<br>

Renee, you have surely come across few very interesting topics here!

I noticed too that for some people turning color photos in black and white is as if those photos look much better.

In fact I think that BW photography is very difficult and requires a high degree of sensibility and also a lot of experience.

But for most of the people is an illusion: one cannot just turn ANY photo in BW and end up with a good photo.

Others add a bit of color and call it "sepia"!

Black and whites photography eliminates the non-important information and keeps the essential.

But then it means that the photo MUST have something to say, otherwise, color or black and white, is the same!

For me photography is about CONTENT, every photo must have one, as clear as possible.
