Can that RED be real?
I've been thinking as I view samples from your Jordan trip ... You and Canon
really didn't get along!
How much is the camera, lenses, your discomfort with a big DSLR, etc., I don't
know. As I used a 5D pretty extensively
for over five years, I don't think it can be all the camera. The (S)WA Canon
lenses and zooms at the time didn't have a
stellar reputation, but I never used them. My axe on the wide end was a Tamron
16-35. It had its flaws, but a sort of
soft lack of immediacy wasn't one of them.
Not that you didn't get many good and some great shots, but they are so
different from what I'm used to from you. The
sense of clarity/transparency, color and even of connection with subjects is
less. It's like seeing through a veil, in
many cases.
Much/most of the technical differences can be corrected in post. But it still
comes through that you were just not in
tune with the camera. How nice, for us as well, that Leica came out with what
you needed.
