I woke up last night around 2am and couldn't get readily back to sleep, started thinking about how I could do some creative trading for a new piece of kit. I began thinking that if there was one full frame DSLR I would own, it would be what I consider, one beautiful hunk o'kit...the Canon 1Ds
So, after much arguing with myself, I also almost traded my X-Pro 1 and Zeiss lenses for a 1Ds Markii.
Then I went out with my Zeiss 85mm f1.4 and shot a couple pics around the yard, it was then convinced that even though I was in the love bubble with the onetime flagship Canon, it appears older sensor technology, cannot compete with the newer. There are of course tradeoffs as each piece was designed with different purposes in mind, so not really apples to apples, in the end IQ wins out for me.
X-Pro 1/Zeiss 85mm f1.4
Anyone else have an occasional lapse of judgement when trading/buying/selling that you don't mind sharing a laugh about now?
