Not sure if your comment is aimed at me. I merely post to share my emotional desire for this camera, despite knowing that rationally I don't need it. Had the same with the Q series (have a Q2 Monochrom that I plan to sell) and the Fuji X100 series, which I always end up buying and then not using much. Have the same actually with the Hassie X2D, but luckily the entry point is above my camera cutoff (meaning the trouble starts when used prices drop).
I'm not one to tell others which camera they should use. I have a hard time figuring out which one I should use.
On a related note:
“ Let’s give the person willing to pluck down $4900 on a camera a little bit of credit…”
I have a personal story that is directly relevant to that general assumption. Im pretty sure that I’ve shared it in hese forums previously. ;-)
REVISED, to clarify for Cheez in the peanut gallery. ;-)
It has to do with a fellow I knew who made the proverbial “metric sh*t ton” of money on a brilliant tech bet that he made when he was a student. He sold it to a, uh, “large international tech firm named after fruit.” He probably had spent less that $5 on a concept that earned him an upper six-figure return… and it was just one of a bunch of similar bets he had made.
I had known him when he was working as a student lab assistant in a facility at the college where I taught. He was a great guy, and we relied on his help. Years later I ran into him at a photography event in The Big City after not seeing him since his student days. We caught up on what had happened in the interim. He told me about earning a huge payoff for his earlier investment. He had recently started to get interested in photography for the first time as a new hobby. He was interested in prints I was showing, and eventually he wanted to talk about the equipment I used.
My newly-rich young friend casually mentioned that he had purchased a $45k medium format digital camera plus various lenses and accessories and generously offered that [I]I could borrow it any time I wanted since he wasn’t using it because he didn’t really know how to use it, and maybe in return I would help him figure that out…
