Thatās fine! If they donāt mesh, then so much the better for them. Rangefinder cameras are purely an exercise in enjoyment for me. Theyāre not practical for most of my shooting, so Iāll just keep on not having a rangefinder camera at nearly 3500 usd plus another grand for a lens. No skin off my back either way. Wish them the best of luck though! Their success will only ever make modern non-Leica rangefinders more attainable for the rest of us.I know nothing of marketing and market pricing. There was a Silicon Valley software foundry that increased the price of their package by $10 every month. They found the sweet spot for sales and went to that and stayed there. I have no idea how valid and exercise this was. I do wonder how much lower Pixii will go. Their lag time just went up from two weeks to three weeks. That is no time to lower prices, when you can not keep up with demand. Your desire and the company's goals may not mesh.
I am grateful I caught it with a 500 Euro drop. I do have more luck than brains.
Hey, with VoigtlƤnder, $1000 can buy you TWO lensesThatās fine! If they donāt mesh, then so much the better for them. Rangefinder cameras are purely an exercise in enjoyment for me.

Ha! Not the ones I usually get/got last time I had M mount. (50 APO, 40 Noct, etc) But yes, their more affordable lenses are definitely two to a grand.Hey, with VoigtlƤnder, $1000 can buy you TWO lenses
I have to admit I have nicknamed if for pearls, Perle, my gaminesque French camera, if she ever shows up for our alliance.Bwa-ha-ha! I can't get the image of a string of pearls as a camera strap out of my mind
Good choice with the black. It looks much nicer than the "space gray", IMHO. Not sure why Pixii doesn't feature the black more prominently in their site.Pixii picture porn, ripped off from their site. Note that his camera is shooting JPG's. This is the version I have ordered: "Basic Black." Next I will buy it pearls. LOL

I would be terribly tempted to make it look like Joe Strummer's guitarAm I the only one who sees the bare, smooth surfaces on the Pixii as prime spots for stickers? Or am I just extra juvenile?
I never read the comments. That solves many problems.That sounds like the DPR I know, heheh. I deleted my account and posts years ago, and recently went back with a new account to very judiciously provide help and tips in a few areas (such as about the Ricoh GR series) once in a while. I do not engage with the blowhards, in fact I do not engage in debate at all. I just consider that I'm not among friends there, like I am here, and act accordingly.
One of the things I like the most about the Pixii, as noted by Matthias Burling, is actually the light meter on top of the camera. It's low-key one of my favorite features about the Bessa-T, and the Pixii's looks exactly like the Voigtlander's. I much prefer dealing with exposure before I put the camera up to my eye, especially on the street when speed is of the essence.
I mean, you're asking me to explain it the way you would use it, I can only explain the way I would use it. I can't predict how you'll want to do things like bias exposure through exposure comp or something similar. For me, pointing the camera at something that's close to the brightness of the thing I want to be best exposed, and then changing exposure until the meter reads green, is what I would probably do. And I would do it in M, not A, most of the time.Yes, I saw that, but . . . In Aperture Priority what difference does it make? Set the lens opening, focus, shoot. I am lost on this one so you better tell me like you would explain it to a six year-old.
