Some “tools” can also be wonderfully tactile works of art. write.as/jackbaty/…

@jack This is exactly the reason why part of me is afraid to get into photography, as that rabbit hole goes very deep. Hell, I want to fondle that camera too and on my end it’s just a bunch of pixels. 😝

@jack i have drooled over Leicas for a long time. Sadly, way beyond my budget. For me, any camera can be a good camera depending on your practice. Still, if the universe wanted to steer one into my hands i would not object🙂

@mbkriegh I have yet to meet a camera I didn't like. (except maybe the Argus Autronic). And you're right, they can all do great things.

@jack That's one ugly camera. I hope it works better than it looks.

@rogerscrafford There are two posts in this conversation that contains pictures of a camera, and from the conversation alone, it’s impossible for me to know which of the cameras you think are ugly, but I guess it’s not the Leica, (although when I was a teenager I thought cameras like that didn’t look “modern”). @manton 📷

@jack what (if anything) happened to the Q2?

@ddykstal I (in a roundabout way) replaced the Q2 with a Q2 Monochrom. I love it, even though it's kind of a niche within a niche.
