I’ve been fortunate, definitely fortunate, to own a lot of different cameras which are considered good, in some cases (in retrospect) very desirable, some of these are …
- Leica M6, Leica M2, Leica M8
- Mamiya 7, Mamiya 7 II, Hasselblad 500C/M
- Rolleiflex 3.5 E, Yashica Mat 124G
- Fuji GW690W
- Zeiss Ikon ZM / Voigtlander Bessa R2A, R3A, Voigtlander 667
- Nikon FM2n, Olympus OM2, Pentax K1000, Pentax ME
- Canon 5D, 6D, Sony A7, Sony A7 II
- Fujifilm X100, X100T, XE-1, XE-3, XPro-1, XT2, XT10, XH1
- Olympus OMD EM5-Mk II, Olympus OMD EM5-Mk III
It started innocently enough with a Nikon D40, which got sold and the money put toward a D90, which got sold and the money put toward a X100, at the time newly released and the hottest camera in the world, with each incremental upgrade I recycled the amount I had initially spent and made up the extra on my credit card, fast forward 15 years and that extra expenditure has snowballed into a runaway planet-sized ball of financial terror; there’s a pattern to all of this, and that is I’ve never been truly, happy with any camera I’ve owned.
Why not?
