Yes indeed. The arguments of long ago were truly unhinged. Every debate used to boil down to 100% crops of ISO 6400 images. Now, each camera system has meaningfully different properties. I've fallen in love with the simplicity of Fuji, BUT I got to try out a relative's digital medium format Hassy.. Horrendous AF, subpar shooting experience, but the images and color depth are undescribably phenomenal. I've got the medium format itch since then, but til it starts raining money, I'm happy with the fuji vibes.
I've been picking up lenses on the cheap too. I can't justify buying them new when the depreciation curve so favors the second-hand buyer.
- vr46 2y agoThe ratio of pictures OF cameras to pictures FROM cameras is still too high, though, at least on my new Threads feed. I have a wonderful collection of old CAMERA Magazin issues, and plenty of old brochures and pro magazines from the 1990s, and technical image quality has not advanced as far as people think it has, even if pixel peeping suggests otherwise. That alone helps me calm the GAS down when flipping though the PetaStoppers of the web today. A mate has been desperate for a Hassy for, I swear, a decade, and has finally bought his dream 907 or something, and the only pics I saw from him so far were shot through a plane window. If it makes you happy, I guess. On the MF itch, I found a cheap-as-dirt 645Z and as you suggest, the images and colour depth are a marvel. So much for not lugging heavy cameras around.
