waving also, been thinking of you and now you are back. Lovely to hear from you

I look at those mirrorless MF bodies and want..

Then common sense takes over. .

Huge and (relatively) slow lenses, small sensor (for mf), and really not much I couldnt do with my current gear.

Still....

I don't know. it's still larger than a FF sensor. You are going to get more bigger pictures and be able to print larger photos.

It's one of those things tho. I would love to give it ago. Have it for like a week and shoot with it. The cost is stopping me from buying it. Perhaps one day when it's on the 3rd version or something. I am sure this camera is going to be a hit for Fuji.

How's the M5? I bought the M3 and haven't been too disappointed but I miss having a wired/wireless remote.

huge?

compared to what....

16-35mm (probably my smallest useable lens, I won't count the 50mm f/1.8)

Which is why I like m 4/3. Small cameras (although some of them aren't that small) AND small lenses. There is a huge range of native lenses, including relatively tiny, high quality, f2.8 zooms. Obviously there are compromises involved, but it works for me.

5D with 70-200 f2.8 IS vs my current m4/3 cameras with equivalent 35-100 f2.8 OIS

Right back form another trip to Whanakai, this time camping with eldest daughter. So 2 sunrises and 1 sunset ....... Well when you are on the east side sunrises are the only thing avaiable ...... unless you stay in a DOC camp ground that dosnt open gates till 7.30 then you have to rush to find a spot on foot

Had lots of sun snorkling which is why we stayed at

Well once I got rid of all the G.A.S I had .......... I learnt how to take a half desent photo. The first chapter said get out of bed and get out there

Top of the Road looking out to Poor Knights Islands About hr before sunset day1

Not used to shooting a sunset from opposite direction, but due to all the hills didnt have a choice. Also when there are no clouds you loose a ot of the drama of the sky.

For the first time in my daughters life (19) she got to see the milky way at night. There is more to life outside Auckland

This is looking out at Motutohe Island, very simalar to Goat Is except its missing all the fish .... which did suprise me how little we saw
