As I understand it, canon glass works reasonably well on Sony bodies with an adapter, so you could try it out to see how you like it before going all in on native lenses?

Mark0159 I say stupid things all the time  More info | that's what I was thinking also. I also like using vintage lens and features the camera gives for manual focusing helps also. Mark

I like the M3 but no wired remote drives me mad!

scotttnz "tick, tick, tick, tick......" More info Post edited over 5 years ago by scotttnz. | My cheap knock off wired remote broke recently, and I was about to buy another, then I remembered I can just use my phone connected wirelessly. Gives me remote live view as well which can be really handy. When I shot this the wharf was fenced off for repairs, so I lifted the camera on a tripod onto the wharf from below, lined it up using the remote live view and shot with the remote shutter.

I can carry 2 cameras and 6 high quality lenses in my little peak design Everyday Sling all day and not be bothered by the weight at all. Or slip the little GX85 with a small prime into a pocket. Obviously there are some compromises with the smaller sensor, but the trade off works for me. You can adapt Canon lenses, but it isn’t really ideal. Funny how a gear discussion brings the thread to life......

kiwichris I forget how I didded that!  More info | Mar 02, 2018 02:01 | #8243 I think it rather ironic. Some time back I mentioned I was having probs with the 6D and lens's weight and now I find all you healthy young fellas have similar thoughts. I would really like to give a drone a shot but not sure about the camera and lens quality as I am still into reportage as opposed to artistic multi layer blend type pics. I do believe it would solve most the problems I am having, the main one being breathing and holding the cam up to my eyes at the same time. Can't bend ova for those low down shots either Panasonic Lumix G9 and some lenses

I could carry my 5D gear no problem, I just found that more and more often I didn't want to. I don't have that problem anymore. It was much easier in the old film days, SLR bodies were not so large and the kit lens, usually 50mm foot zoom type, was not so bulky, so haveing a camera slung over your shoulder or with you at all times, was in fact easy. Not as cheap to run tho'. Panasonic Lumix G9 and some lenses
