Why do you need so many cameras all in the same format?

This is a serious question.

1. I upgrade regularly to get new features and capabilities.

2. I frequently shoot with two cameras to avoid lens changes.

3. I shoot professionally, so I need backup for everything.

Where is your studio?

Do you have a website?

For my workhorse cameras, I usually want the same model so the images are identical (and the controls as well). This is especially important when shooting video. But I don't always; I shoot some jobs with Nikon and I have different models.

4. When I upgrade, I use the camera for personal shooting first, and if I'm going to bring it into my workflow I will get a second. And then phase out the previous models.

5. When my wife uses a camera, I let her use the same one as I use so it's easier for me to show her what to do with it. So we have the same iPhone, and she uses one of the LF1's, and she may use one of the other cameras (not so much these days...she loves her iPhone 12).

6. I have serious GAS. It's fun.
