Sold on M system
Feb 2, 2019

I have been in photography for 50 years. Switched to digital about 12 years ago and upgraded through several D series cameras and a collection of apsc and L lenses. Not long ago, I bought an M3 and several M lenses plus adapter and evf during a refurbished sale. Immediately I noticed how much more pleasant this kit was to carry on trip compared to a 70d kit. When I made 13x19 prints, I could not see any difference. Upgraded to the M5 for faster focus with non stm lenses. Used this kit during several trips. No fast action pics but no front back focus issues either. Recently picked up my 70d and 18-135 lens. Set it aside for M5 kit. Thought why carry larger and heavier for this trip? Also, dabbled with an Olympus m4/3 kit. Very pleasant in carrying and use. Result 70d kit is being sold. Keeping another 70d and couple of lenses for action pics. Recently inherited a 5d mk2 and 24-105 lens. Excellent pics but no way would this senior carry it all day. The buyer switched to rebel kit for smaller and lighter. Sold on smaller, lighter even if ergonomics may be off.
