I own and use fixed, prime lens cameras - all film cameras - and yes, both limiting and liberating. I paid between £5.00 and £15.00 for those cameras and I would be delighted to buy and use a Zeiss ZX1 for £15.00. I cannot imagine why anyone would buy such a limited camera for the asking price.
I think because they think it's a very nice thing and they can afford it. Just like anything at the luxury end of the market, watches, suits, cars, anything, there are doubtless much cheaper alternatives that maybe make more sense but there's the feel, passion and enjoyment if it all and sometimes people will pay for that.
If it was a looooooot cheaper I might have one but I just can't justify that price to myself.
Good luck to Dan and those who get one. I'm sure it'll be a lovely thing to own and use and in this world baybe that's justification enough
