[Leica] One way to justify a M10R

[Mark Rabiner]

Fuji glass unlike Leica or PhaseOne or Hasselblad glass has special normal human pricing. NHP
They cost less each than a used Chevy Nova.
Other people than Gates or Bezos can afford them.
So the main money is the camera not the glass. Unless you think you need a cluster of them.

    >> 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!?
