If you call X100 a digital RF... well, I would. First time I felt bringing a digital camera out to shoot... It's that good.

This gentleman is the owner of the MaMa shop (a.k.a Indian provision shop in local Singapore slang) at the ground floor of my block.

A native from India, he became a citizen a few years ago.

In my 9 years staying in Blk 260 Tampines St 21, I see provision shops on the ground floor of my block come and go and business for previous owners was not good.

Ever since he took over, he got the shop opened from 7am to 11pm daily including Sundays and Public Holidays. And he brought in almost everything that you you can find in NTUC... and at a very competitive price.

I would say... he is one hardworking soul... and naturally for him, business has been great since he opened less than 2 months ago...

Thanks to him, I no longer have to walk 15min to Blk 201 to get my bread and margarine...

Three Cheers to Mr Ma Ma Shop!

I do not think you will like M9. Digital M is a very different experience from analogue M. It does not feel the same. Digital feels very cheap thrill, very quick fix, very robotic, very mass production. Analogue is where the craftsmanship is, to use terminology from Erwin Puts' essay on this precise topic of Professionalism (digital) v Craftsmanship (analogue). I am compelled to work harder, and exercise more tact when composing with film. Film is forever!

I do not deny M9 is more convenient. I use my M9 where speed of development and convience is needed. But if its up to me being creative, i use my M4. Film gives satisfaction in a way you cannot get from digital. 1 well shot frame from film is more fulfilling than 1 gig of digital pics no matter how much postprocessing is done. I just do not get the sense of wonder with digital in the way i get from film

very well said
still contemplating wanna plunge into film or not..... very tempting

more x100 love! :heart:

what i really like about the x100 - when you set it to manual focus using hyperfocal, the dof displayed via the ovf is quite brilliant imho!

sorry mod, slightly OT, i'll share a pic here to appease...

I started from film then to digital then back to film again and never look back since. There is a lot of potentials for digital as initially I thought. But from the way digital technology progresses it will never be able to deliver what the impressional imagery film gives. The way I see it, advances the digital gives will produce images as more hyper-realistic, something akin to 3D realistic-like. Film gives you grains, whereas digital have noises, just whether is noticeable or not.

Film cameras, especially the vintage ones, usually outlasts its owner. Digital cameras have shorter life-span, and this is what the manufacturer aimed to achieve, so they are manufacture them as consumeable products for the next models. And just look at those DSLRs and the likes currently, they all looks like standard military issues. Everybody carries the same things and those standard military issues lacks feelings. That is why most photos lacks feelings.

In the past I got sucked into this trap where glow, sharpness and bokeh is the ultimate. I was totally wrong. 3D Computer Graphic Imagery (CGI) produces the ultimate glow, sharpness and bokeh I have ever seen in my life. Now I aim for other things which an old vintage cameras are very apt in producing which digital imagery is trying very hard to photoshop and imitate.

I remember HCB once said "Sharpness is a bourgeois concept", off course he was kidding when he said that, but still ...
