Design

On the design of cameras:

(1/2)
This post made me think about the design of photo cameras. 
It's true that Leica cameras in particular have a retro feel. 
But why do cameras look the way they do? 
On the one hand, it is true that the design of the (Leica) camera dates back to the days of analog photography and many settings were made manually back then. 
But you also have to bear in mind that for many, especially professional photographers, the camera is purely a tool and not a design object, the motto here is that form follows function. Settings such as exposure time or aperture must be able to be adjusted within fractions of a second. Physical dials are unbeatable for this.

Recently picked up a Ricoh GR IIIx. The size is amazing.

Been trying to leave phone at home and bring the camera when taking the kids to the park. Will share some photos from it soon.

Working on Farcaster and Warpcast. Longer thoughts at https://dwr.email

I have a Ricoh GR III and I wish I woulda gotten the IIIx. That said, my Sony RX100 VII is my fav camera. The software sucks as much as my Ricoh, but a 200mm lens in a pocketable camera is wild
