There was a great photographer, I forget his name at the moment. He started his professional career with a simple Brownee camera. As he grew in skill and fame he moved up to newer, more complicated, and more expensive cameras and associated equipment.
At some point he decided he was so skilled and experienced he didn't need all the gimmicks any more and went back to the simple no frills camera he started with. Most of his most famous and enduring art was made after this point.
A great friend, photographer and luthier told me this story when we were working together on building cameras, making pictures and having lunch cooked on an open grill burning old violin parts.
