@mattblaze it's not often I see a photo and my immediate reaction is a strong fight-or-flight but this is definitely one.

@mattblaze I was given a good biography of Henri Cartier-Bresson five or so years back, and the difference between "how Cartier-Bresson is fetishised by a certain sort of rangefinder fan" and his actual life gave me whiplash.

@mattblaze I’m indifferent to the tone of their marketing, it does seem to encourage a portion of owners to be very quick to assert variations on “if one cares about photography, one owns an M.”The kit costing so much seems to add onto it; if I had a nickel for every M review that has insisted real photographers don’t need autofocus I might be able to afford one.

@mattblaze when a man whose budget stretches to medium format digital backs tells you that your camera and lenses are too expensive, well!I do think that their niche is so very small, these days. Compact size can only go so far before the body is hard to hold and only so many people want to shoot without autofocus. I can only imagine how furious I’d be if I’d spent all that money and got a model with sensor rot.

@mattblaze for a moment my brain was misunderstanding the shape as a glass cube rather than mash fencing, which made for a very striking, but non-existant, piece of architecture.
