It bums me out when I'm handling a film camera and fiddling with dials (an important, overlooked part of photography, fiddling with clunky dials) & I think about how market forces in the camera world mean we'll probably never get something like the Epson R-D1 again for a real bridge between the film and digital worlds. Sure, the Leica M-D, but that costs luxury money. Give me a sensor that spits files to an SD card & everything else on the camera can be middle of the road 1970s SLR level tech.
@jasonsteakums yeah where's the $500 Hasselblad back?
@paulsheprow Some of the decade old medium format backs are surprisingly getting down there in price used! The R&D and economies of scale on smaller sensors make them hardly worth it now, though, better sensor quality for the money elsewhere...
