I can't accept m43 mount.

Ulfric:

I dont think there are enough people left that believe that it is correct to carry the body/lens combo with the left hand carrying the lens/weight of the system.

I learned to carry any lens/camera that had a lens big enough to grab by the lens (to ease the strain on the shooting hand (right hand).

As long as there are shooters who think the left hand is only for Zooming/focusing there will be this talk of the "weak lens/camera link".

I think the right hand should carry almost no weight at all so the fingers of the right hand are free to dance all over the buttons on the camera when needed (thus relieving the mount from the "torque stress" of the heavy lens.)

If the lens is large enough to wrap your hand around, then the lens should NEVER be hanging free from the camera body.... (we even worried about stressing the mount on our slr cameras 50 years ago).

I was told more than 50 years ago that the original purpose of the neck strap was to keep you from maybe dropping/breaking the camera body while changing lenses NOT so you could walk about looking like  great goober (twit) with a heavy lens slapping about on a strapped camera.

Times do change, and most of the time I just mind my own business, but this discussion seems stupid.

Having the right hand free of weight is to the benefit of the photographer.

Having the weight supported by the lens when the lens is heavy is to benefit both the system and the photographer.

Carrying all the weight in the right hand benefits only the doctor you visit to take care of wrist pain.
