Years ago, Nikon made an attempt to buy into the whole vintage appeal and aesthetic with the Nikon Df. Olympus did it with the Pen F. Fujifilm's entire line of X series cameras does this. And pretty much every Leica that I've ever held did too.

But these cameras didn't buy into a hype model; they demonstrated true craftsmanship. This can be found in pretty much every film camera that you hold which doesn't have electronics in it. There are even cameras with electronics where you can truly feel the craftsmanship. But in recent years, I feel like camera manufacturers have lost their ways. In favor of a newer type of photographer that understands and feels computers more than anything else, the art of a craftsman's tool has been all but lost to us. . thephoblographer.com
