12964088:Balto said:Alpa 12 SWA, it's a medium format tech camera with Schneider lenses and built in vertical rise. They are hand holdable and not to big, landscape and architectural photogs love them. Built in Switzerland, can accept digi mf backs. Cost about 10k.

How come every practical MF camera costs an arm and a leg? Leica needs to make a MF rangefinder already.
12964938:Balto said:Because german glass and swiss engineering are actually good quality and are intended to be used by the highest level of professionals and there for cost real money. When the lens you put on it is a schneider APO and their "small travel" camera comes new with a 50mpx hasselblad back on it, I think you can tell the kind of product we are dealing with.

The glass will make you nurse a semi but the images will be softer than the belly of an undomesticated Vicuna roaming between an altitude of 3000 and 5500 feet and the depth of field has to be measured with a caliper.
Nice for tumblr pictures and the odd experiment but not a real world lens, by a long shot.

The Leica bit of the camera display inside le Theatre de la Photographie et de l'Image, a gallery in Nice. It's a small section, but goddamn it is beautiful.
13079657:zbphoto said:What the fuck did you expect?
13080438:lIllI said:Maybe something interesting for a change, instead of the same fucking Leica with a different lever that sells for $2 million.
13102156:DingoSean said:So... This has been taken over by film cameras, but Video needs some love too, regardless of their usually ugly nature.
The most major exception: VX1k + Deathlens

13102739:DingoSean said:That's the point. You can't really even compare it to anything on the digital still photography side of things. It defined an entire generation of filmers. If you weren't shooting skate videos with this in 1997, then you were wasting your life.
