We all know what we use and sometimes love, but I though a tread of what we don't like could be somewhat amusing?
My brand journey has been somewhat slight, I have owned Slrs from Pentax, Nikon, Olympus and Canon, and Dslrs from Pentax and Canon. Now solidly on the mirrorrless M43s from Panasonic.
I dont like Nikons in general, by some sort of reason, I owned a very mint Nikon FM with a 50 f:1.4 and a decent Nikon tele-zoom, 70-210 of some sort, if I recall correctly, for some time, but traded it in for a (very) well used OM1N and a Rollei 35, both of which I still have. Much later I was issued a rather nice set of Nikon gear, with (probably) a D5000, regular- and telephoto zooms of the 2.8 category and a somewhat larger compact reminiscent of the 70s 35mm compacts, both fresh out in 09, never warmed to either of those either.
I somewhat like the F3 and have done for quite some time, and could be interested in giving the Coolpix A a spin, if I can get my grubby mitts on one, other than that, not so much and I dont normally do brand loyalty as such, nor do I like to consider me very "fanboi" oriented, more towards performance and fullfillment of my perceived needs in a somewhat most bang for the bucks type of mentality (it crashes somewhat with my Leica fascination, but then again, I am not likely to go down that particular rabbit hole).
Any others with an "actively" disliked brand and if so, why?
Please, take this with a tongue in cheek air, I am not hating on Nikon, I am just somewhat disinterested in them and cant really understand why it is so.
