[Leica] One way to justify a M10R

[Mark Rabiner]

Turns out that with a 33 × 44mm sensor your standard lens would be a 55mm!
"That’s just 5mm more than a 35mm format standard" you'd say.
But a normal is not really a normal in 35mm full frame photography
It's not 50mm its 43.3mm the diagonal of 24x36 do the math!

    Well if a medium format 60x60mm camera has an 80mm lens on it that lens is not a telephoto lens like it is on a 35mm camera. Its a standard normal for medium format film square!  No cropping comes into play. (The diagonal of 60x60mm is pretty close to 80mm.)
    Digital medium formats are a tad smaller than film medium formats cameras so they cost less than a million dollars. And more people buy them.
    But with this gorgeous to die for GFX100 I am overwhelmed by the idea of shooting with over a hundred megepixies!
    But maybe I should really be overwhelmed by the fact that it's made with physically way bigger sized medium format sensor? (33 × 44mm)
    A combination of both would be the smart opinion. I'd both be right!
    Costing only $9,999.00 here in New York!  
    And you though you'd have to spend ten grand for a medium format digital camera!?
