What is it with all this FOMO lately?
Years ago I learned about this digital contax and it sold for like ~100€ so I thought about buying one for the retro design nostalgia and the novelty of a compact camera with premium built quality and an in-built OVF! And the images had a certain charm to them I felt.
But I decided against it because I felt like I would regret wasting a good moment not being able to faithfully capture it with good dynamic range and resolution.
Now I wish I bought one just for the novelty and so I could feel smart for having bought it before it started to sell for 400€+
It's even worse with the Hasselblad X-Pan. Wanted it for the novelty and just cool technology but it didn't fit my photography style, I have unsteady hands so my photos would be crooked and with the cinematic format it would be impossible to correct and it's electronic and old so I feared it would break leaving me with an expensive repair.
