Honestly if you ignore the ignorants they will just go away. Trolling is no fun when no one responds. They survive on responses. Something to considerHmmm
I've been away from this forum for a little while and I am honestly surprised at the amount of negativity here now. This used to be such a better environment. Now it seems that every other thread is turning into a "why bother the D810 / A7RII / Latest 35mm DSLR is so much better or easier to use" argument.
Last I saw this was the MF section. If you really don't like MF / want MF / can't afford MF / used to have MF but switched / are exceedingly happy with your 35mm camera / etc, then how about hanging out in the 35mm camera sections where you can extoll their virtues with other like minded individuals. Honestly unless we are talking about comparing image quality between the formats than this continual MF bashing is getting rather tiresome.
We all have different needs, we all have different wants and nobody's decision is better than anyone else. For me I am in my third attempt at getting into MF (for various personal / financial reasons) and would drag myself over broken glass to have an IQ back again. If you have been unhappy with your MF experience then how about dragging yourself in the other direction and stop bitching about it.
Rant over :angry:
P.S Even if this is an April Fool price I still can't afford it which is even sadder
Yea I'm just not here enough to moderate as much, so as members we just need to ignore and move on. I know it's frustrating too. It amazes me how some can be so bias to brand and/or format. It's really a sign of being very insecure and justifying the money they spend. I love MF I just can't financially afford it anymore. Worse all the support that I had in MF have all disappeared too when I had to sell my stuff. That's even worse to me, just shows how some things change color. No e-mail, no contact,no are you even alive. Kind of hurts as the huge amount of effort I put into this format. But I will never belittle this format and the members that buy it.
MF is amazing, except the depreciation speed. 35mm is just more financially practical (and with a much more efficient performance-price-ratio) for most photographers.
So Doug responds with his honest opinion based on experience in polite and articulated manner.
So, basically, Phase One adjusted to Hasselblad new pricing for the H5D-40 and H5D-50c...
It is not only MF. I follow the Sony forum from time to time and there have been the same kind of discussions over there. Obviously, it is not only getdpi, most of the other forums are worse. Even the user commentaries on articles that are available on other sites make me regularly wonder about their negativity. I know some sites which have disabled the commentaries after a few years because it became too hard to moderate them.
And even more compelling is the XF/Credo 50 for 20K!
