Camera gear you own or owned that was universally loved but you never warmed up to it.

Our take

In the world of photography, there are beloved camera gear pieces that receive universal acclaim, yet sometimes, they simply don’t resonate with everyone. Take the Nikon D500, for instance; despite its solid build and impressive autofocus, it never quite captured my heart. I found the Canon 80D to be more appealing due to its superior handling and user interface. Similarly, the Sony 50GM f/1.2, revered for its sharpness, felt too clinical for my taste, prompting me to seek lenses with more character.

Have you ever owned camera gear that was loved and lauded almost universally but you never really warmed.

•1• Nikon D500. Just never did it for. AF was really good, body felt solid and iq was good but I actually preferred the Canon 80D far more as an overall package, for it's handling, ui, dual pixel af and was fine with it's iq and af.

•2• Sony 50GM f/1.2 , bought and sold it because I found it too clinical in it's higlight rendering ( I love 50mm lenses with character over sharpness ) , but as a 50mm photographer, eventually re bought it to give it another go, still don't like it and find it too clinical 4 years later, but it's a 50mm so I stuck with it. Maybe one day, I'll try the Sigma alternatives.
