I'm such a modest person, so I could do with just one 35mm system that combines stunning mojo autofocus glass (even if it's expensive) to keep and take good care of for decades - with affordable (preferably "low-filter" concept) cameras to upgrade every 4-5 years because of the fast development of this still very immature digital technology. The cameras don't need to have all kinds of fancy features like video capability etc.
(1) I would prefer the system to be an R DSLR system (think R10).
I am aware it's unlikely to happen since apparently Leica doesn't want to or maybe is not able to compete with affordable 35mm cameras. They have given up this competition which to me looks like a serious mistake, because I believe they in reality have the necessary optical advantage to win a substantial market share. If they haven't got the necessary electronic know-how or the modern production facilities themselves, they should partner with someone who has. I think.
(2) Anyway, as I probably cannot have that, I want the next best thing, which is a full range of Sony ZA primes to combine with the competitive low-filtered Sony Alpha cameras. But again not very likely to happen, since obviously Sony is in charge in this 'cooperation' and Sony seems to prefer to offer their own optical formulas. The few Zeiss formula lenses seem to be just at bit of spice to the Alpha system. No lens road map so far.
(3) So, if I also cannot have the next best thing, I'll have to do with some new Nikon AF-S primes, especially a 4/400 VR or 4/300 VR, plus some fast wide angle primes, plus a fast 85 VR or 135 VR. The missing AF-S primes we have awaited for ... how many years ? :sleep006:
As I said, I'm a modest person, so all I ask for is a system that combines high-end mojo glass with affordable (preferable low-filtered) cameras.
Not too much I should think :angel:
