Thank you, it's good to know that there are photographers who understand my approach, and who seem to like it.

Not just like it, LOVE IT with capital letters!

An anecdote concerning the Contax, a French collector sent me this photograph to tease me.
He has four Contax Digital !!

noooooooooo way !!!!!

Now you got us both drooling! WOW!

The N digital was on my radar some years ago, until I realized how rare and expensive they are haha

Back to the film analogy, to shoot one of those nowadays, would be like shooting Kodachrome in 2022, both in finding the film stock and somehow getting it developed.

Oh my!!

Look at the mint condition as well... wooooow

Count me desperate haha !!

Just for fun, did he ever mentioned for how much $$$...infinitely more $$...$$$$ he would sell one for you?

Super curious! I bet a house or 2 and a FerrariĀ 

And I'm jealous of the Leica M8 and especially the Mamiya ZD 22MP

Ok I cheated a little bit haha

I had a Leaf Aptus back (22 mp) and now the same exact back, but Mamiya branded.

Both are variants of the same 22mp Dalsa CCD used in the ZD.

Although I pretty much have the same sensor here, I wanted the ZD camera itself, but legend says the AF is quite prone to failing.

So it went out of the radar.... for now at least

Love those exotic cameras, that you go out shooting, and not even a hardcore photographer knows its existence.

You seem to me to be a real enthusiast, good luck in your future projects.

Yup, love these cameras, specially the vintage CCD variants.

Very recently I got a mint D1x for mere 130 bucks, and will take it to expensive shoots side by side with my Hassy.

I know that would make half DPR's population cringe very hard, a 2001 APS-C Nikon and a Hassy shooting together...

But yeah, we're going that hole haha

Please keep doing your awesome work

Best regards,
