My camera is better than yours

[Bill Caulfeild-Browne]

My Bilora Radix is better than ANY of your cameras because none of you have one. In fact most of you haven't even a clue what it is.

MY m6 is better then your digital iphone and h4d -40 because it takes tri-x

 

[Guy Mancuso]

My Cambo smokes your Bilora Radix cause your right I have never heard of it so that's reason enough. Lol

 

[Ben Rubinstein]

My Cambo SC is better than all of your cameras cause having been in storage for 6 years in a garage 2500 miles away without having a single shot taken with it, it must be in far better condition!

My Leica IIIF is better than your Cambo because Sonny Bono used it to photograph Cher AND Marie!

 

[jcoffin]

My Maxxum 9 is better than your Leica because Sonny Bono never had his filthy hands on it (and it has a shutter speed to 1/12000th of a second).

Responding to jcoffin's Maxxum 9 with a max shutter speed of 1/12000th of a second. Ok, I can't beat you on the shutter speed (holy cow...is that for real?), but honestly, what kind of name is "Maxxum 9" for a camera? Sounds like a line from a James Bond movie that ended up on the cutting room floor.

I'll call your Maxxum 9 and see you a 4x5 Graphic View camera.....a real camera with a name worthy of it's long and distinguished heritage. I own two of these beauties (a Graphic View and Graphic View II).

Graflex View Cameras

Number 5 flash bulbs are not required......

Sorry folks, this thread will now come to a quick end.....I know that none of you can top the mighty Graphic View camera!

My 5D is better than your Graphic View cause it has a detachable mirror (grrrrrrrrrrrr!).

 

[Vivek]

Detachable mirror, 1/12,000s shutter speed....:sleep006:

The Nikon D70 that got me into digital can flash sync all the way up to its highest shutter speed. Yet, despite Nikon's initial flat out denials, could do a BGLOD* on its own!

I own 2 or 3 of these. All "resting". :ROTFL:

*BGLOD = Blinking Green Light Of Death.

My Nikon V1 beats all your shutter speeds at 1/16,000. Now if we only had lenses fast enough to use it.

 

[MGrayson]

My MFDB kit is better than all of your cameras because I haven't bought it yet and thus it is pure anticipatory fantasy without the downsides of reality.

My 8x10 monorail is better than your MFDB because... well, it's bigger, OK? And bigger is always better.

 

[Godfrey]

My Nikon Pronea S is cooler than your 8x10 view camera because it's easy to make pictures with lots of pretty grain.

[GrahamWelland]

My Zero Image 6x9 pin hole deluxe camera beats your grainy Pronea because it not only looks like a beautiful vanished woodworking project with gilt fittings but it also shoots at a speedy f/235! Diffraction? What diffraction?

My daughter-in-law called and asked if I would like to have her father's camera he bought in Korea while he was there in the military. She was going to give it to Goodwill but knew I was a "camera guy", so she asked if I wanted it. It came with an extra lens, all boxes and instruction booklet. My camera is better than yours because it's a Nikon SP, and I got it for free!

My 1968 Rollieflex 2.8F is better than your old, musty Nikon SP because I bought it from a collector in Japan and it's only ever had 7 rolls of film run through it. It's as perfect as the day it was made, a real shelf queen. Which is exactly how it's going to stay... perfect and on the shelf where it belongs.

 

[jcoffin]

My Retina IIIc is better than your Rolleiflex because it has three pieces of glass on the front instead of only two.

 

[Jorgen Udvang]

My Fuji GX680 is much better than your dinky little Retina since it's still at the dealer's in Hong Kong, which means I don't have to haul the bloody mammoth around yet

 

[Godfrey]

My Polaroid SX-70 is better than your GX680 because even though it's huge it folds up and fits in my iPad bag. And I can see my prints in a minute.
