zavi istrauka is Ken Rockwell straipsniuko (dedikuojama Marijui* kuris galvoja kad Leica yr brangi ir todel skirta pizonams
Cartier-Bresson started shooting in the 1930s. In the 1930s, Contax was the good camera, and most serious impromptu photojournalists (all three of them back then) had to settle for Leica instead. Nikons and Canons hadn't been invented yet.
When Cartier-Bresson walked into that camera store in the 1930s, a Leica was all what most people who had to work for a living could afford, if anything. Cartier-Bresson was a just a journalist, although he is now an icon. For all I know, his portrait may already grace the 100 Euro note.
But wait - the initial asking price of 2008's Nikon D3X was so absurd that even Hitler came back through history out of astonishment.
Think about it: you could flush $8,000 down the toilet into a Nikon D3X. A D3X can't even take pictures until you've bought a lens and memory card, and charged the batteries.
For just $8,080, you could buy a brand-new Leica M7, and 28mm, 50mm f/2 and 90mm lenses. You'd have a complete Leica setup for the same price as a stripped Nikon body. You could pay $200 less and opt for the 50mm f/2.8 instead, or save $1,000 and not even bother with a 50mm lens. You also could pay a lot less finding these items used.
You could shoot with the Leica system for years.
In three years, the Nikon D4 should be announced. By then, the D3X body will have a resale value of about $775. Your Leica system? Well, it will still be cranking out great photos, and from what dangerous little I know of Leica prices, with inflation, the same system will probably be worth about $10,000 with inflation, not $775 like the D3X with digital rot.
Leica may be expensive, but it's a bargain compared to digital.

Ten yra geru minciu:
"Only buy what you can afford. Don't buy anything until you have the cash to pay for it.
Half of America doesn't get that, and spends all its money barely making the minimum monthly interest payments on their credit cards each month. GAG!"
arba:
"I spent decades working in television, but I haven't watched TV since the 1960s. It's like people who work in a rat poison plant: they would never actually eat the product themselves.
Watching television makes you stupid."
Sorry, off topic cia
