    If Lonhof is a Benz, then what would be a Rolls Royce? Leica S2? Can a digital camera even be a Rolls?

    Gandolfi is the Rolls-Royce.

    Uh, so digital cameras are stuck in a rock, can only be pulled out by a child, makes a lot of noise in use, and finally is deliberately thrown into a lake.

    Are people going to draw analogies of various films? Tri-X is like ..., TechPan is like..., Efke is like...

    You have to put a pan under them to catch the oil drips?

    EDIT: Darn it, others were already just as funny as me!

    Nope. This thread is about a camera (supposedly).

    Does that mean the Graflex is the VW or the Citroen?

    The analogy started with motorcycles, so the oil dripping comparison would properly be any Brit bike - Norton, BSA, Triumph, Vincent, Matchless etc..
