StS Posted March 28, 2015 Share #3181 Posted March 28, 2015 Advertisement (gone after registration) Well, this shows, how different people are. The MP is the one camera I will never sell. In my experience, there is a curve to rangefinders, at the beginning, they feel a bit weird, especially, when being used to a different system, however, after some practice, their operation can be done subconsciously. The MP does exactly what I want it to do. If anything goes wrong, it is my fault. In my impression, all automatic cameras do something different, with a slight delay. Rangefinders are annoying at the beginning. All other cameras become slightly annoying, after the novelty has worn off. At least, in my experience.

colonel Posted June 13, 2015 Share #3199 Posted June 13, 2015 (edited) I hope that's some irony. I can't imagine being able to buy one of those on a whim. Well I was looking for a new film camera. Long story. I was actually looking for a M7 to replace my previous one. It was second hand but still had guarantee left and looked like the previous owner had never used it. It's a really beautiful camera. I just thought, I have never tried an MP before, so lets go. I think it probably is the most beautiful camera I have ever held. Not really buying off a spec. sheet, but at least the sensor is upgradeable Edited June 13, 2015 by colonel 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
