[Leica] Sony RX1 Rangefinder Magazine

[jshulman at judgecrater.com (Jim Shulman)]

Good reason why--who needs 'em anymore?
Want a review of the latest equipment?  Count the bloggers/writers who
post them for free.
Or go to your favorite discussion board and see what's new and exciting.
Want to see pictures of the latest gear? Free images abound on the web.
Want information faster than, say, once a month?  Again, the web.

Sure, they're fun while killing time at (one of the remaining, though
likely not for long) book superstores.  And it's nice to see some of our
friends, such as Tina, featured in one or another.

But otherwise, who cares?

Jim

The June 2013 Insight  Marketing issue of the paper Rangefinder Magazine
which I tend to look at over espressos at the Barnes and Noble caf? is out
with a shot on the cover of a fashion model type in a plane with a life
magazine on her lap and kerchief on her head. Highly styled. On very
glossy stock.
The very well printed cover was shot with the Sony  Rx1 full frame But
when you read the article inside you find most the shots of the shoot were
done with a typical current Nikon DSLR. And you get a side by side
comparison. Only its top to bottom on the page. They really seem to match
up psychologically human nature kind of thing we may be rooting for the
Sony.
Looking at the cover of the paper in hand printed copy one could easily
belive it was medium format digital or film. I may have...
Although the quality of the printing and paper is top notch we'd really
want to be seeing much larger prints to gee a real idea of what these
sensors are outputting. But this example is very real world.
Below I found the digital issue an urls.
But try to see in in the magazine rack.
I still read photo magazines.
Pretty much all of them
Pretty much cover to cover.
Pretty much since I was 12 in 1963.
You don't hear much about the photo magazines on the lists. Don't know
why.
