Spadaro Finally Says Something Un-Nonsensical
"Tony Spadaro" wrote in message .com...
Except that the Leica SLR is not much to begin with and therefore is far from the best anyone can reasonably afford. I think Contax is way overpriced for what you get but would recommend that brand over Leica SLRs in a heartbeat. Leica has never understood the SLR and probably never will, This is true. Leica does not understand SLRs and brings little to the table. If they are convinced their optics are 'The ****' they should offer them in Nikon mount. Of course, Nikkors haven't been offered for rangefinder Leicas since the M mount came out. All patents have run out so there's no more excuse, other than perceived lack of volume, which might be valid-but the rangefinder market is growing, albeit more slowly than it would if people quit listening to the Polycarbonate Mafia. As more people are learning that rangefinders and TLRs are better for some applications than SLRs-that the SLR is a compromise like everything else and not always the best-the market for quality grows. Of course, digital is killing the film snapshooter market-I'll be glad the day the last retail minilab dies-but for those still shooting film, exclusively or partially, the quality market will rule. It's like turntables-they no longer sell 'em at K-Mart or Wal-Mart, but you can still buy two basic turntable types-ruggedized direct drive models for rap DJs and High End units for serious vinyl playback to the best standards possible. |
