When a photographer does magic work with certain equipment, simple minds inevitably will attribute the magic to the equipment, not the photographer ... especially when the particular equipment is rare and hard to come by. This is what happened to the Konica Hexanon 60 mm 1:1.2 after Yanidel published his remarkable review of this lens on his blog a couple of years ago.

 

It is a good lens, no doubt about that. But it deploys no more magic than the photographer who employs it. If you're a real photographer then you will do magic with any good lens. If you're not then a Konica Hexanon 60 mm 1:1.2 just ain't gonna help.

Equipment certainly helps though... many passionate guys are injecting some magic in the lenses they design.

It's a combination of both. One can't do it without the other.

Yes you can. Please see pictures taken years ago with lesser lenses (technically).

 

Of course, if you need to shoot landscapes and read the newspaper in the guy's hand from 20 feet away than you are looking for pure resolution and this has nothing to do with a lot of other things that make a photo great: composition, light, emotion

There is more to a lens than resolution, and it affects composition, light and emotion.

Otherwise, we would all be using an iPhone.
