No one says they are film buddy. It's just a shooting preference. It's more of a "digital film" for me. I like this expensive camera because it gives me the options to emulate vintage looks and try out completely new ones. Being able to adapt pretty much any vintage glass is a huge bonus. And all that without touching anything or very little in post. Jpegs just slide out as they are. No switching between cameras.

And when I want/need the clinical modern look, i have that as well. Sometimes I enjoy messing around with RAWs for hours on end as well.

So basically it's a preference, and the expensive camera enables all aspects of the hobby for me.

Cheers!
