Full Frame Digital or a "Full Frame" Film Rangefinder

[kshapero]

Simple question: Money aside for now, would you rather have a Full frame Digital Camera, like a Nikon D700 or Canon 5D or would you rather have a quality Film Rangefinder like a Leica, ZI or its ilk?

I'm an avowed Luddite and I like film more than digital.

Given the choice of a premium rangefinder or premium DSLR, I'll take the rangefinder please and thank you.

I already have plenty of film cameras. I have no FF DSLR.

If money is no object - BOTH ;>)

Sorry, Poll says one or the other. LOL.

The only Digital I feel has the soul and look of film are the Sigma Dp 1 ad SD 14. I am hording my Green Stamps to get one!.

Fillm rangefinder. There are more than enough good wides for crop sensor DSLR's now (in my case the Sigma 10-20)...I have no need of a FF one.

A full frame digital rangefinder, now...

 

[bennyng]

hmm.. hard decision. I will usually end up with both...

But to be honest, most folks here would already have a film rangefinder to begin with. Any pure digital users here?

Cheers,

A nice ZM with a good adapter to use my old Contax lenses on it ...

I'm shooting more film now than digital and am enjoying it more.

I have and use both, about 45% with film RFs, about 45% with DSLRs (one of which is FF), and the rest with the rest. When a real FF digital RF (or functional equivalent) comes along, it will probably mean the virtual retirement of my 35mm film cameras.

Film camera. Digital don't quite do it for me
Kind regards

After I posted earlier, I came to realize that perhaps the smart thing to do is to take the DSLR (perhaps a D3) and then trade it to someone for a black paint MP and an M2,4, or even 5 or 6.

This poll needs to be reworked kshapero! ha...

Pointless poll. I already have both, Canon 5D and M3, M4 and IIIG

Never mind the digital part: I've essentially been "over" SLRs for close to s decade. Other than the old OM-2 with the super-wide Sigma zoom I use once in a while, SLR's are off-stage. That leaves RFs, and, since I haven't seen a dRF which I can (1) afford, and/or (2) truly like, that also leaves me shooting film.

Could be worse.

It would be great to have a FF digital camera so that one's lenses could be used on both cameras witout worrying about whether your 50 becomes a 75 or whatever, but as my film SLRs are all Canon FD, that's not likely to happen.

I have a Canon P, a Leica CL and a Yashica GSN to play around with, so I'm OK for now.
