[Leica] S2 Lenses MTF & Resolutions

[mark at rabinergroup.com (Mark Rabiner)]

In the days of film to illustrate this would be the use of the Pentax 6x7.
A monster but you get used to it as its the same exact configuration of
every other 35mm SLR of the pre 90's. So that's the reason why a lot of
people used it. There are just a lot of people who feel totally comfortable
with the standard traditional SLR configuration of bodies made in the
1970s-1990's. They like not to have to think. They know where the rewind
button is. Or that they can pull hard up on the rewind crank to open the
back. Its unconscious.
And these people can not get shooting with a box.
They don't feel like they're getting the shot.

But let me tell you lots of fashion photography gets done with a tripod.
