COOL! I prefer gas burners over electric, but I like an electric oven, without an exposed primary heating element.
Luckily we have both.

All you need is a digital sensor!

Lucky for me, one is available for $26K. So the total cost of the rig would be $26K + the $150 my dad paid for the camera in 1969. If you scroll down after clicking on the link, what camera did they put this thing on? It proves I'll be in business soon. Say, can I borrow $26K?

Think I'd wait for the color sensor!

I would come up with a responsive bon mot, but this is so delphic I can't even decipher what it's supposed to mean, but I do know the corollary is that "Skill is the result of shooting with a crop-frame body.".

It's hard to have good luck with the wrong sensor size.

Yes...this caméra is the right one...as long You still have the "medium" to load into it...

I'm actually surprised at this introduction. With the smaller overall size of FF bodies in the days of mirrorless and potentially shutterless…along with the component shortages every industry with electronics involved is seeing…and the continual improvement in phone cameras I didn't think we would see any more non FF bodies or cameras introduced.

They certainly do make the "medium" to fit this camera. (4x5 film). Even though I haven't used the camera since the 1970s, it appears to be fully functioning other than the mirrors in the rangefinder needing to be re-silvered. I used the rangefinder for handheld "street" photography, but I took many pictures with the camera on a tripod using the ground glass back (with the black cloth over my head) for focusing. I still have a 4x5 Omega D2 enlarger in my garage, but it hasn't seen use since the 1980s. I just got too busy in my career and with my family to keep my darkroom going. Of all of the cameras I've owned, I kept two, this Crown Graphic and a Nikon FTn, my first camera. I have a few lenses for that one. I know that this discussion is off topic, and showing a picture of that camera was an attempt to be funny in a discussion of sensor size.

Back on topic, I think that Canon releasing some top notch APS-C cameras is a good thing. The difference between APS-C and full frame isn't just sensor size. It's camera size and weight. It's lens size and weight. The smaller size and weight of everything and good IQ has always been attractive to a lot of people. Cost of everything tends to be less than full frame options as well.

No luck to it. It's all the shooters skill.

Now the Leica has killed the CL (my favorite camera is now an orphan), and some of the best APS-C lenses are from Sigma, would it make sense for Sigma to release an L-mount to RF mount adapter so that Leica and Sigma L-mount lenses could be used on the R7 and R10? Since Sigma already produces L-mount lenses, would this cause patent or engineering difficulties? This would provide CL owners like me with an upgrade path and provide Canon with a stable of at least 30 APS-C lenses made by Leica and Canon they could use with the R7 and R10 immediately.

The same argument's natural extension if that anything less than 8x10 is too small. But 11X14 is better.......

Each format size has its purposes and advantages and drawbacks. It is a choice.
