Re: Shooting while skiing

I've been skiing for years with my E-M1 MkII or MkIII with the 12-100mm f/4 Pro (usually), in a backpack, 24/7. I have been using the MindShift Rotation 180 "Trail." https://shuttermuse.com/mindshift-rotation-180-trail-first-look-review/ Unfortunately it looks like they don't make it anymore. It's a 16L pack and is low profile and small enough that I usually can leave it on when riding a chairlift. I just let it ride up over the back of the chair. The next size up is the 22L, which I also have, but it's a little too big for skiing with micro four-thirds gear. The great thing is you never have to remove the pack to get to the camera, and you can always get it out quick!

There are times however, when I just don't feel like carrying a pack, so, I'll just stick my old E-PM2 with a tiny Panny 14mm f/2.5 in my jacket pocket, mostly for scenic shots, but I've gotten some good action shots at times. I also have a bunch of other recent shots on FLICKR here: https://flic.kr/s/aHsmHRW6kB
