There's no doubt in my mind that this is one of the two-three best FF still cameras out there - minor incremential update or not. The target group is not just present D5 users but also present D3...

My 40 years old Leica M Summicron 35/2 - but luckily, in real life I can keep more than that.

I think I understand what the OP means and I do agree with him. He is not opposing those who just send their raw files through their raw converter of choice with default settings and are satisfied ...

Now, I use Sony and have no intentions to switch brands - it's expensive and I'm perfectly satisfied with the results I get from the Sony and my adapted Leica lenses with my - admittedly - ...

I get curious. Are your photos taken in Denmark? I seem to recognize Lillebæltsbroen with Fredericia in the background.

Ferrania Lince III camera in 1965 - and a light meter next year. My uncles homemade enlarger two years later.
Fast forward 10 years. Canon FTb with FL and FD lenses. Later two F1 bodies...

Oh but it's not stupid - which I also acknowledged in one of the paragraphs in my post. I was more reacting to those who seem to believe that there's a one-size-fits-all-perfect-profile. Maybe I ...

Actuallly, the differences in those two pictures are smaller than the differences that arise when small changes in the ambient light happens - as it does ever so often outdoors and also in indoors ...

Yep, that's the way I do it too. The lenses goes down in the shoulder bag nose down without front lens caps on - but WITH hoods in working position. Using a front lens cap increases fumbling and ...

You can hardly blame your camera for your shaky hands. You can spend big money on a camera but your hands will shake just the same.

I think my explanation includes yours and I agree with you 100% - but maybe I didn't express myself clearly. That is the most common scenario, but the opposite is also possible: Warmer air over ...

You are replying to a one year old post.

Leicas reflexbox was named Visoflex. As with all things Leica, it was beautifully engineered and built - complete with crackle enamel finish - but clumsy in use compared to modern cameras. Just ...

Actually, the phenomenon is not caused by high winds or high temperatures as such but by temperature gradients between different layers of the air which begins to move quietly around. Air of ...

Why shoot RAW when your goal is ending with a picture looking like the SOOC JPEG? Why not just shoot OOC JPEG? I shoot RAW because I want my pictures to be different from the OOC JEPGs.

The right price is the price the market will bear. It's not thievery. In a free market you have full freedom not to buy. The money can stay in your pocket if you want.

If the market shouldn't...

I can see that too but I don't think that's what the OP is talking about. In the first of his two pictures there is a more or less square dark shadow around the moon, several times bigger than the ...

Indeed, but he most likely used the Zone System as a reference to get the desired result - contrasty or not. The Zone System is not straitjacket and I don't think it was ever meant to be used ...

Yes. All meters metering light reflected off the subject works that way, even old fashioned hand held meters. An alternative is to use a hand held incident light meter (the ones with a white dome ...
