Leica T vs. Hasselblad Lunar

 

JMHO, but I see no reason to buy the Lunar over the T - particularly at almost $7000 USD. I can think of another $7000 USD digital camera that would make MUCH more sense...

24.3 vs 16.3 .... easy win.

I believe the lunar is just a Sony Nex-7 in some sort of strange makeup, a bit like the rebadged D-lux series of Pano/leica cameras so it really isn't unique which the T is.

Of course, a 50% increase in megapixels on tap means better print quallity. But doesn't the huge price difference make the increased imae quality seem like a situation of diminishing returns?

 

JMHO, but for the cost of the Lunar, it wouldn't take much more of an investment to get an M240...

I find the Lunar a bit ostentatious for my taste. I prefer the (relatively) quiet quality and understated nature of the T. I could easily imagine myself getting candids with the T, but with the Lunar I would likely be more worried about getting mugged than getting the shots.

Given the availability of the Sony A7, the only reason why anyone might consider buying the Hasselblad is as a tax dodge.

 

And there are more socially acceptable ways of avoiding tax than that, including breaking the law.
