He also brags about how generous he is in gift-giving, because that was a major status-marker in his tribe. This "noble savage" spent a good deal of the interview bragging about how many wives and horses he had, unfortunately not in that order. In it there is an account given by a pioneer about an encounter with an Indian brave. I have an 19th-century book about the old West called Beyond the Mississippi by Albert D. It's just the way we're wired as social animals. We are always trying to display wealth, specialness, and privilege. Most photographers are human beings (there are exceptions-see selfie by Slater's macaque in the inset illustration!), and human beings are highly influenced by status and standing. Why? I believe-my opinion-it's because large sensors and BHEF lenses are high status. Regarding d-o-f: for most of photography's history, photographers always wanted more of it. ƒ/1.4, the former standard for a very fast lens, is boring and not fast enough. But primes? For some reason, where those are concerned we feel we need lenses of exotic specification. The good ones tend to have constant maximum apertures that are the same as that of my old Carl Zeiss lenses.
You'd think we'd all be shooting with ƒ/2.8 and slower lenses now, and in a sense we are-or most of you are, anyway.

ISO 3200 means they need two stops less light than my old P3200! And nobody uses filters any more, so you don't lose any light that way. Now, most cameras with decent-sized sensors have no trouble with ISO 1600, and many do well at ISO 3200 and even 6400. 800, and I went crazy shooting in what I considered very poor light.
When T-Max P3200 was introduced (with a true speed of ASA/ISO 1000-the "P" in the name stood for "push"), I found I could rate it at an exotic E.I. And my two "prime" (single-focal-length) lenses had maximum apertures of ƒ/2.8. On top of that I used a medium yellow filter, which cut out another 2/3 stops of light. It's downright odd: when I started photography I shot Kodak Plus-X, which had an ASA/ISO speed of 125, but which I rated at an exposure index (E.I.) of 80. Many lenses that are popular (at least aspirationally) these days are big, heavy, expensive and fast (BHEF for short, if you'll tolerate it).
