Most cameras are either good looking or at least OK, IMVHO, but every now and then there’s something hideous launched. So here’s my top 3 of ugly bugs.
1. Leica R8/9 – a very nasty looking piece of kit indeed, and a real shame given how handsome earlier R SLRs were. A bit like a Kiev 10 without the charm.
2. Nikon F4. Looks like an explosion in a camera parts factory. A camera undoubtedly designed by a very large committee, each member of which felt obliged to tack a bit on. Ghastly.
3. Sony Alpha A900. Yuck. ‘Nuff said.
