>>4457664Right, CPS doesn't apply to me. I already said that in my comment. And... look at that, I already said I don't buy Canon. But CPS is compelling. I think I would buy Canon if I was a press photographer. As a professional camera at least, if not personal.
>Sony cameras are just better canons.In what way? Sony cameras tend to have the best specs. And then they are the least ergonomic and have the worst usability of all the brands. They're the Arch Linux of cameras. My hobby is photography, not cameras, just like I don't want to use Arch Linux because I use my OS as a way to access Lightroom and porn, not because I think tinkering with configuration files is fun.
>>4457612Leica's own vision of itself is that the reason you buy Leica is for the Leica camera experience and luxury, not their optical quality. The optical quality is only part of that.
Fucking Takumar lenses competed with Leica, and some Pentax lenses were just rehoused Zeiss lenses or based on Zeiss optical designs. Some of the 90s Pentax lenses in those cheap plastic housings that you can buy on ebay for $40 are seriously some of the sharpest lenses you can still buy today.
(Zeiss basically traded their optics R&D with Pentax for Pentax's coatings R&D. A lot of the 90s lenses were heavily derived from Takumar and Zeiss designs but with then-modern precision optics engineering).
Some of Leica's SL lenses are just rehoused Sigma lenses.
If you think the point of Leica is just sharp lenses, you really missed the point.
