>>2981749>no one has made money on cheap equipment then continued to use cheap equipment. What a fucking surprise that is eh.
In other news, famous football players don't use walmart cleats.
Fucking hell, i want to say you're trolling, but you're not, you're just reallllllly stupid.
>leica was still expensive. Back then 50% discounts in store weren't unheard of, especially if you could haggle or were jewish and it's only since the resurgence of film in the digital era that leica prices have skyrocketed. Fuck, even 10 years ago you could pickup a working leica ii body for under $200.
The cheap stuff is always the unfashionable stuff, currently that's plastic film slr bodies, i got my f90x for $40, which any nigger can afford and get better results than with a $1k leica.
Medium and large format fell drastically from favour for a good 15 years, i remember seeing complete horseman setups for $100, my mamiya tlr and 3 lenses was $80.
