>>4307285Very true, retro bodies have basically no appeal outside of (slightly girly) fashion concerns otherwise. If you mostly shoot as a hobby and have done limited freelance work at best, you see a retro camera, then you see your normal camera, you figure they're the same size because the grip sticks out as much as the smallest lens but your normal camera is easier to use so it's like "why would i bother". Maybe you stick a largeish zoom on it and you're like "haha, this is great, i can take any photo i want easy".
But then, maybe, try using your normal camera for 10 hours a day, day after day, taking awful photos for some tasteless bride, and now using your normal camera reminds you of bridezilla, and it's hard to enjoy how slick it is because you're reliving 50 shitty weddings. Now, you buy a retro camera and a small prime because you want to enjoy photography without reliving 50 shitty weddings.
