Does anyone use the S system "to be contrary"?

I’ve had the psychotherapy, also I never used the word spite - that’s solely your comment.  My journey towards Leica is a dream I shared with my later father in law.  When I started to work professionally it had to make sense in business terms, hence the 5D.  I tried a few other lenses from the seemingly standard 24-70 + 70-200 zooms. I started working with a few fashion clients and for me there was no life to the images ( probably down to me ) the client, MUA loved them but it wasn’t what I saw in my head.

i tried the Practika 645D the IQ was superb but there were so many options, when I wanted just be able to set ISO, speed and Aperture

So I took the plunge into Leica - it was like a progression M -> Q -> S

I have tried the Hasselblad X1D which I really wanted to like but disappointed.  Tried the Phase One a studio camera in my opinion.  So the S it is.  I can take it out, ( sturdy strap  ) the70mm lens is awesome and these days I am not able to set the shutter speed as low is used to.  I sold my M10 but I have replaced it with an M3 SS and 50 collapsible.

I consider my logic to be valid, without spite or malice.  The only system I haven't tried is the  Sony, which is because it is expensive to keep changing systems.

 

just a note I have had many hours of psychotherapy over the last 20 years - I was diagnosed with ADHD and Asperger’s to go along with other mental issues.  This was changed a few years ago and now I’m classed as autistic or the current term of Neurodivergent.

I would ask that you consider your wording, you don’t know who is on the other side

Read the topic title: Does anyone use the S system "to be contrary"? So you are not. No reason to get your panties in a wad.

So, on average, pretty good.

Nope.  Awful.   I own  the other system lenses to compare it to.  And the camera struggles to focus it because it's so slow.

Pieter you are completely correct - if I had scrolled up then I would have the posting you refer to ( perhaps I’m a bit contrary to ).

Please class this as a “senior moment”. I used to have virtual senior moments or blonde moment - but at 64 with a brain that is contrary it’s now actual Senior Moments

 

please accept my apologies

No, Leica S007 again. Not to be contrary, but for the shear joy of use!
