My Zeiss Nettar (6x6) produced some really nice negs. Those are mysteriously lost unfortunately... :-P -- teleportation kills |

I've used cameras from 2 1/4 square down to MFT and find that MFT meets my needs for "serious" photography, but of course it may not meet yours. Actually, the smartphone camera is good enough for me for many purposes, when actually having the camera to hand is more important than the last step in image quality. -- Cheers, David Web: http://www.satsignal.eu |

The M with the 22/2.0 and OVF would fit nicely in a ladies purse. If I need to bring a camera then it's ready to go. Never again will I pay for a system with smaller sensor than halfframe. I agree with you on the Phonycams (TM) though. They are the Pocket Instamatics of today... -- teleportation kills |

Now that I have adopted the Fuji X-series, along with four useful Fuji XF lenses I am eyeing the X-T2, and at least two to three more XF lenses. If I ever buy another Nikon it is most likley to be a D500 or one of its descendants. I have friends with the Fuji X series who are absolutely delighted. Another fellow CC member uses the Sony series, and was as excited as a teen aged virgin with his first topless date, when Sony announced the latest converter for Nikon lenses. Just as there are X-mount converters for Nikon, Conon, and "M" lenses. Meanwhile i am really happy with my 500 & 800 combinations. I just wonder why they didn't use the CF card for the D500/ I guess the reason for SD rather than CF is, they have been able to achieve equal or better performance out of modern SD cards to that provided by CF cards. Add to that the bonus of being able to design a more compact 2 slot memory port. It uses an a XQD pus and an SD. Nikonw slams it provides much faster processing. -- PeterN |
