I think that the serape of snark is large enough to cover more than one person in this discussion.
I have noticed that when there is something that doesn’t appeal to a particular person, they tend to pronounce that it is useless, without considering that it could be a perfect fit for someone else. I think that it is kind of silly for someone to buy a brand new film camera when perfectly servicable ones are practically being given away. I personally bought several when I got back into photography because I wanted the lens that came with it. I honestly lost count of the number of spotties languishing in my drawers, just because I wanted the 50/1.4 supertak that was attached to them. However, if Ricoh can start getting some cash flow by leveraging the basic guts of an incipient film SLR by putting together a simple rangefinder camera, more power to them. > On May 16, 2023, at 10:20 AM, Bill <anotherdrunken...@gmail.com> wrote: > > Paul you lose any credibility you might have had when you resort to ad > hominem attacks. > > bill > > On Tue., May 16, 2023, 10:33 a.m. Paul Stenquist, <pnstenqu...@comcast.net> > wrote: > >> >> >>> On May 16, 2023, at 11:52 AM, Bill <anotherdrunken...@gmail.com> wrote: >>> >>> One could say the same thing about someone's split window Corvette that >>> spends it's life locked in a trailer, only to be seen at car shows.. >> >> Perhaps, if one were given to exaggeration and fuzzy thinking. >> Yes, the camera has some value, but I think that for most of us, it’s not >> particularly useful.
