High Performance Trends Thirty-one: Why did I use the fool machine Leica Q to eliminate SLR & rangefinder cameras

For tools and equipment, I admire pragmatism.

Previously brought an "Why have you eliminated OMEGA and ROLEX with fenix3 spreadsheets?"

This time brings about the deficiencies of photography equipment:

First, why do people need cameras: 1. Functionality:

The camera can record images, of course, not limited to the recording function itself, and now all kinds of functions that are not related to the imaging itself are stuffed into the camera.

2. Identity:

Like clothing accessories, the camera also has an identity function. The user groups using Fujifilm, Leica, and Nikon cameras have their own image maps in the minds of each photographic equipment enthusiast. This identification does not depend solely on the brand, but also on the functionality of the machine, the price, the model number, and so on.

3. Enjoy the taste:

Even if you are a professional photographer working only with equipment, you have to admit that since Leica, Hasselblad, and Zeiss started to launch branded products, they are already consciously cashing out their brand value - this is with Armani. There is no difference between the make-up and Burberry's perfume.

Second, why did I use the fool machine to eliminate the rangefinder/slender. What kind of camera do I need?

In this way: 1. Can be brought out every day (volume weight is not high),
2. Can take pictures at any time (high ISO available, fast decisive focus, anti-shake, large aperture)
3. Easy to use (auto-focus auto-metering, automatic white balance is powerful, easy to pass late in the picture)
4. The imaging effect is good (large format, full aperture of the lens is good)
5. Beautiful shape design (Farewell silly black rough shape).

So I never wanted a heavy 1DX/D4, nor did I long for a bad Leica M (other than your own, others wouldn't).

Third, I purchased photographic equipment:
Leica Digilux 3

This is a Panasonic L1 branded camera. Even in 2008, it is a device with a lower ISO and lower pixel resolution. However, the quality of the kit lens is higher than that of C & N. The full aperture is extremely high quality. high. This Live MOS imaging is similar to the Leica M8's CCD and auto focus.

Defects: Heavy & large, available ISO is too low.

Olympus E-M5

This is an earlier camera equipped with EVF, which made me fall in love with the WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get), EVF that responds more quickly than the LCD, and is also an earlier realization of a high-ISO (3200) usable small format camera.

Defects: Smaller frame, no body anti-shake, EVF quality is not high, no WI-FI, lens group strength is not outstanding.

Fujifilm X100S

The Fuji X100S is my first large-bottom non-replaceable lens camera. It is equipped with a better EVF/OVF than the E-M5, a large-aperture 23F2 lens stuffed into the body, and even an optical zoom combination kit.

Defects: poor focusing speed, no WIFI, general lens quality, and general frame size.

Canon 5D3

This is the relatives know that I may like photographic equipment, send the machine. Due to the heavy use frequency is not high, eat in the gray.

Soft girl need to use this machine, look professional?

Excuse me?

Do you ask college fans to like Wu Yifan/Lu Yi/Song Zhongji to repair her computer, or to look for someone like a home appliance master to fix a computer?
Who looks professionally important? Can a computer fix important?

Defects: Can't go out, too heavy, too big, too stupid.

Leica Q typ 116

Although countless photographers have expressed "Camera does not matter", Leica Q is my Dream Cam and has nothing to do with Leica.


This is a good camera:

It is not as portable as the RX100 series, but it has a F1.7 high-quality lens and a 3.44-megapixel EVF and touch operation.
It must not be as inherited as the Leica M series for a hundred years, but in exchange for automatic speed focus, WIFI remote control.
It is not as good as the Fuji X100 series of art retro, but it is full-frame plus.
It is much higher than the price of other non-changeable mirrors, but only with the manual Leica M28F2 the same price, buy a camera to send the body.


If you can, I hope it will be lighter, the EVF viewfinder will be bigger, and the touch screen operation will be more optimized.

Egg 1:

Smzdm photo gallery column, often cited Leica Slogan, the translation is wrong.

Another translation version of the internet “We didn’t invent the camera, but we invented the camera” is also wrong.

This should be "We did not invent photography, but we created photography."

This sentence is actually established, but it is limited to modern realistic photography. Some people think that this achievement comes mainly from German modern photography masters such as Blausfeld, Alfred Stiglitz, and now, looking back, these old guys can indeed have a better look if they have an iPhone or a black card. . But what Leica did was to provide an affordable, portable camera in the 1930s, instead of waiting for 80 years before putting out the acid.

Egg 2:

Why not buy M series?
Because I bought a camera to shoot myself, not to show "taste" and "style".
When you let others take your M series to take pictures of you, you can never take a clear picture.

Why is it so difficult to use the M series? Because the Leica M is a symbol of a leisurely class, it is not easy to use, so taking a picture is very laborious and requires a lot of time. In contrast, holding a D800, 5D3 is a dry photography to eat this meal, too LOW.

Therefore, the next step in the M series should be to cancel the AE, and then change back to the CCD without any high sense. Just like Hermes next step should completely cancel the spot of leather goods.

Egg 3:

What would I buy if I didn't have Leica Q?
Sony RX1RII!
