Step aside ladies, here comes your new overlord. Leica redefining photography once again. My m3 cannot wait to eat some of this goodness. We excited for this or what?

Imagine being a gearfag who "needs" 1/8000 shutter. Are you taking hundreds of pictures of herons catching fish? You don't need more than 1/1000. Real photography is done at iso 50 f16 anyways. Go overspend on gear you dont need to make good art somewhere else gaylord. I'm sick of photography being dragged down by talentless skill issue havers like you who need all the latest tech when garry wingorand or henri cartier bresson could outshoot you with a potato. But what do you soulless gearfags know about art? Nothing. You just want your running dogs to be "sharp" and "better than micro four thirds" because you need to blow everything up to fill a macbook screen... when good street photography aka art only needs a 4x6 to have emotional impact...

...fools. the real waste of money is money spent on a camera that lacks the biggest optical luxury in the world

Leicas are not special
I have bought, tested, and profited off of 7 of them

The M6 was the nicest but ultimately no nicer than a canon P or nikon S. The best part was, ultimately, taking thousands of dollars from leica people.

I tried shooting 120 once and the DR and grain was as bad as micro four thirds. I guess in theory if you shot a black and tan dog and scanned it with a $3000 fool frame you could count as many blurry dog hairs as an a7rv lol but then why not just use the a7rv and a film sim? Film is so stupid

Even the blobmeras are starting to rise in price these days. Nothing is being spared. But you can still take a chance with like an eos 5/a2, it’s a solid piece of kit, and I still see those sub 100 on eBay. Risky though cause they have the typical 90s canon broken dial and it’s a pain to fix. The eos 1 is also awesome feeling to use even with its single center focus point, and can be found cheap. I have both in addition to my leícas and 1D, and enjoy them as well. But “higher” tier than those and the price explodes, an eos 3 still goes for like 300 canuckbucks which is crazy to me.

Barnack created the Leica as a lighter alternative to big 4x5s with the same full level of features, never something inherently minimalist or cut-down. If you want to sell me a Leica, stop presenting it as some communist everyman's camera, stop conflating Leica's with Zorki's

Its an accurate skit, but people misinterpret it into "gear doesnt matter shit" when back in the day, the 5d was still very high end and mogged all other cameras, and the 1d was very specialized, and absurdly expensive, so only an idiot who knew absolutely nothing about photography would buy it for anything but professional sports photography.

If they reran it today it would be

>Oh, cool. I have an a9iii.
>Are you taking thousands of pictures of huskies catching cats? You don't need an a9.

100mp crop medium format is legit good if you never shoot action. Before you start rambling about "equivalence", let's translate that into english
>Sometimes a person with a better camera will have to use settings as bad as mine
But in real life that happens maybe 1% of the time, and 100mp gains an extra stop through downsampling NR

The only argument against 100mp dxmf is basically "stop enjoying photography"

50mp crop medium format is not it.

So knowing the facts makes one a faggot, got it lel
You conveniently remember base ISO but forget that most crop MF lenses are unable to open up wide enough to take advantage of it. FF is simply superior outside of a controlled studio shoot.

You have genuinely never, ever, EVER used a camera. Holy shit.

I shouldn't have to explain this to you. I would have to walk you through each and every little step until pressing the shutter button, and you still wouldn't get it, because you are so offended by the basic fact that yes, better cameras are better. Your crop sensor DSLR is much worse than GFX100s.

>oh fuck my lens is a mere f1.8 equivalent i can not use iso 100. i must always raise my iso 5 stops to take a photo.
what never using a camera does to your brain

90% of worthwhile photos can be shot at f16, 1/50, iso 50. not all sensors have the same light gathering capacity despite theory about crop factors. equivalence scenarios are logically fallacious and technically uninformed.

You're getting it backwards, imbecile. What I'm saying is that the advantage of the larger sensor is lost by the lack of lenses to make use of it.

Equivalence copers seethe when a photographer touches a camera
>*lowers shutter speed*
>THATS NOT ALLOWED! NO! NO!
>ok *turns on flash*
>NOOOOOO ITS NOT THE SAME PICTURE! STOP!
>YOU HAVE TO TAKE THE SAME SHITTY LOW QUALITY PICTURE AS MY CROP SENSOR ITS NOT FAIR REEEE
Note: The GFX100S has a 4 stop advantage over micro four thirds and a 2 stop advantage over full frame. If it were closer to equivalence and was a 20-25mp medium format camera with gapless microlenses, it would still have a greater-than-equivalence-"rules" advantage due to the absurd quantum efficiency of those huge pixels mogging the lesser photosensitive area of crop sensors.

Equivalence copers lack creativity. Everyone has to only photograph gray cards under international standard lighting, at equivalence. Only SNR charts matter to them. If the 45mp camera has less aliasing and finer detail at every output size, and the 100mp even better, thats about the way images look so it doesnt matter. if medium format has better color sensitivity they dont care. they only care about noise charts because they only use cameras to take indoor snapshits of their cat.
