@Go-For-Chill said in Photograph and Camera talk:
the best camera is the one you have with you
I think this is very true @Go-For-Chill
Years ago, I had a Sony RX100 (can't remember the exact model) and I loved it, especially for travelling. It fit nicely into the front jeans pocket, and I would take it to gigs and travelling in places where you don't want to look like a tourist.
I eventually got a spot on the Sony lens, and it was cheaper to replace it than repair it and changed to a Canon Powershot G7 (can't remember the exact model) as apparently the specs were better than the Sony. However, the Canon didn't fit in my pocket. So I used it less and less, until the point I stopped taking it travelling and just use my phone.
I missed that Sony.

I’m glad for the privilege of discussing my photo issues with you guys here. I’m way past my peak interest in photography (20s thru 40s), so an Iphone camera it is for me. I’ll rarely carry a second camera with me, no matter how small and good it is.
Thank you! -
@motojobobo One of the reasons I still carry a camera on vacations is specifically to limit the amount of minutes my phone is in my hands. A camera lets you disconnect while still capturing moments.

Did this ever happen to anyone of you? You walk around your home, spot something and feel the urge to capture it?

Ive wanted one of these for a while and now its here, I can’t bring myself to open it….
Fixed lens and only shoots in B/W.
Ridiculous!
But if Im gonna be extravagant and indulgent, I might as well throw ‘stupid’ into the mix.

@NorvilleRogers I’d like to think that if Ansel Adams was alive today,that would be his camera of choice. Can’t wait to see what you do with it.

I totally agree @don_pipone
While this Leica remains un-opened, I have a least rekindled my love of taking pictures. Ive reverted to my 10 year old Canon and my even older original Fuji X10. Even those don’t come close to experimenting in the dark-room or pushing Ilford ISOs to ridiculous levels for pure fun.
It was never about resolution or extremities of sharpness and I think buying this thing has reminded me of that.
Maybe that’s why Ive left it in it’s box and kept the receipt! -
It might be a bit small for Adams, @Jett129
I’ve always imagined he’d be more of a Hasselblad man. Who knows!
But its amazing that such a long time ago, he set a standard which is yet to be matched in landscape. -
I had posted this picture a while ago,with the caption “If Ansel Adams had a Lensball” I like to think that at his advanced age he would have enjoyed a smaller camera that he could easily take everywhere. No to mention seeing his work immediately. When I was out at Yosemite,there was an Ansel Adams tour that took you to some of the iconic places that he shot at,but sadly it wasn’t being offered when I was out there. @NorvilleRogers
