Depending on the course you choose, you can also be an idiot...
There's a difference between asserting that Leicas (or sociology, or media studies) appeal only to idiots, and asserting that some idiots choose Leicas, sociology or media studies.

it's not whether or not one has a right to choose idiocy. it's the haphazard way many of us assign the moniker.
I have seen you making new threads complaining for english grammar and spelling in a international forum.
Shoot me for being a non english mother tongue.
Why do you make things up by implying my observations to be casual?
The same again. You take me as prejudiced. I am a proud Leica owner and user.
How can you say you believe I am wrong?
I saw what I saw. Were you standing behind me and seeing it 'right'.
I accuse you as an agitator. You are twisting things that people say.
I am new here and I had some great help and sympathy from some members allready, but I will converse with you no more.

Well, I still have questions. If idiots like Leica, then what camera is the preference of imbeciles or morons?

Everyone knows that we imbeciles prefer Canon and that morons prefer Nikon. As far as cretins go well they prefer Pentax and of course everyone knows that spastics prefer Olympus.

Since both Holga and Hasselblad have a set of accessories that work with their cameras, why is Hasselblad a system and Holga is not?
How do you define a system?

Oh, never mind: "Holga is a system".

The point I was originally trying to make is that Holga, a camera that is part of a cheap medium format system, is not far above Leica in real or imaginary image quality.

Just like a pinhole camera using 120 film... If you want to consider those things just like a Hasselblad because of used film's measurements, and not depending on lenses or real final quality, you're on your own right.

I don't believe in the brand/label part. GAS is a thing unto itself, it's a form of collecting <opera house gasps>.
If you're attempting to capture an image a certain way you have certain gear. The 'look' and process or functionality of the camera - need - outstrips brand labels, unless you enjoy going around like this :bang: all day.
Photo forum may only focus on the narrow equipment side of things simply because everyone knows how to capture extraordinary images and they're just keeping up with changes in gear. :angel:
Roger H.'s favorite author has a great quote that cuts to the heart of it,
"There is nothing worse than a sharp image of a fuzzy concept."

I meant worst Leica users are not RFF Leica users.

Look at the submission requisites posted by Getty. Most of their concerns are to constrain digital and 35mm work. I think such requisites are intended to exclude, for example, instamatic types.
It is an arbitrary limit they use to keep the public at bay.
Do you think that Getty would exclude a picture that was unique to an 'important' event because it was taken by a cell-phone?
I don't think they would. Perhaps I am too generous.

Please, define image quality, is it about the resolution and pixel, or is it about art? if the first one, then MF and LF will be always on top the lines, i did comparison with all my digital 35mm against one digital MF [H3DII-39 which is now replaced to H4D-60], my Hasselblad H beats all those 35mm digital in color sharpness and DR, so why i have to say that 35mm is better? if i will use that 35mm for something that Hasselblad can't then this is another story, i can produce art with P&S and 35mm, so this will not make those MF and LF any less as well, different systems for different style or reasons, or hourses for....,
Now if i saw an image so amazing and story-telling, or moment-capturing whatever camera it is i will not make it less if it was taken by a cheap camera, if i look for a pixel then i will have a different approach, so what is the quality meaning to someone? Many now taking amazing photos with any camera, and the one who is taking fine arts by P&S or cell phone is able to do with the most expensive camera, but it seems many who can't afford something great to use keep saying that it is not necessary to get high end gear because we can do with cheap end gear, but our hearts all saying: I WANT THAT EXPENSIVE CAMERA OR LENS, and i don't believe what the tongue saying that it is not a big deal.
