Maybe I'm just being an @ss, I don't know, but in case I'm writing all kinds of B$, I'm willing to apologize.

But man, as a fashion photographer myself, I loved the lighting and production value...

@Roland, haha that was actually quite funny! ;) I have the M8, cheapest of all Leica things, and only 1 lens (28mm f2 Voigtlander) and will probably remain that way for a decade at least :) ...

@cosinaphile, loved your sugestions for retro digital cameras, but I already have one, my Leica M8. It's as close as it gets to a film camera with a digital sensor inside.

But despite being super...

This a 10 out of 10 in the missed opportunity scale. A massive achievement, well done.

But you know what? What amazes me is how insanely AWESOME this could've been if done right.

Sometimes you...

I'm sure most people will not look things from the following POV, not even for a split second, in this consumer/specs obsessed, "buy buy buy, wow specs!!!!!, more, please, MORE MORE...

If you don't mind sharing, I'd love to hear one day how someone as talented as you remains (at least partially) a hobbyist. On the level you are as a photographer, I'm sure you get green light on ...

@teemodk, of course you do, but this is your opinion.

Try to sell that argument to a Vogue editor, or sell happy smartphone pictures to BMW, Calvin Klein, Intel, etc, let's see how that turns...

Thank you so much, Roberto! That little forest is really nice eh ^_^ One of the reasons that remained high in the wishlist is because it's quite nice visually, but also relatively cheap and easy to ...

Hi Roberto, Enjoy your awesome IQ180! Both the P65+ and the IQ180 are dreams of mine, maybe someday - in 30 years, considering Brazilian prices... ;) Please post your thoughts after your ...

Had no internet connection during the weekend, so a bit late on the reply, but thanks everyone for the comments! Appreciate it a lot, really thanks! :D There's a backstage video coming out for this ...

Hi Roberto, I'm always in love with your work! It's on a whole different league. I constantly strive to be a better photographer, and a shoot like this one is me trying to do exactly that. Quite ...

Hi, It's been a while since my last post, but here's something special, that really deserves to be shared. About 6 years ago, I saw an awesome video on YT featuring Dumond's, a Brazilian brand, ...

So Simon, here's the exact thing, and allow me to be as blunt as possible.

Then the general public should not "act" as photographers, nor have access to photographers' features.

If they're not...

Fake bokeh is disgusting. Downright disgusting.

But even if (and that's a massive if) it was absolutely perfect, so perfect you couldn't tell it from the real thing, my honest opinion is...

I guess I should have read the entire thread, but it's too long already ;) Well, I have more modern cameras and I use them primarily over my D2x, which rarely gets any use. I do so because the DR ...

@jefftan, still disagree.

Normal people still have to realize they're buying pro gear.

As much as they want to have fun with it, it doesn't change the fact this remains a pro tool.

And a very,...

I knew we would get some comment saying the Z6 is no pro camera.

Is it because it doesn't have two slots?

Because for everything else it's as good as it gets.

Weather sealing, great sensor,...

@jefftan, let's once again remind ourselves one often forgotten point.

Cameras above a certain level, are professional tools. They are not toys, as much as amateurs think they are.

Toys they are...

Believe me, I have the camera, I know what it's capable of, while you're just forming conclusions out of DPR's jpeg gallery.

Yes, it's amazingly bad at High ISO, but who cares, anyone buying this...

@AKH, sorry, but in this case you're mistaken (and that's not even an opinion).

For example, the M8 doesn't have an AA filter (and you're basically "forced" to use primes - and shall we note many...
