heavy camera for every weather but not perfekt in dimm light

[QuarryCat]

great, big, heavy DSLM camera - but very good in most lightning situations, best electronic viewfinder till now.
Fast and very good to handle, lot of fantastic and sharp lenses.

My lens favorites, that I use every week:
0,95/10,5 mm Voigtländer
1.7/15 mm Leica
1.2/17 mm Olympus
0,95/25 mm Voigtländer
1.2/42,5 mm Leica
2.8/60 mm Olympus
2.8/200 mm Leica
2.8/8-16 mm Leica
2.8/12-40 mm Olympus (for close up too!)
4.0/12-100 mm Olympus
2.8/40-150 mm Olympus
5.6/45-175 mm PZ Panasonic
6.3/100-400 mm Leica



Before I had: 1,7/20 mm P, 1.4/25 mm L, 2.0/12 mm O, 2.8/45 mm L, 1.8/75 mm O, 2.8/7-14 mm O, 4.0/7-14 mm P, 2.8/12-35 mm P, 2.8/35-100 mm P, 4.0/300 mm O
they all had prooven not the right choice or not as good as they others listed above.

mFT has still it's weakness above 1600 ISO - so for sunsets and dimm situations I use APS-C cameras like Nikon D500 and Fuji X-T2. And for Portrait and Studio work I prefer Nikon D850.

Sony is still not ahead for me.

I have an Olympus E-M1II too for using the best available image stabilization with 4/12-100 mm and for walks with smaller and lighter equipment.
AF is great - but not perfect - in both cameras - but I rate the Nikon D500/D850 AF System better and all others worse.

I'd be surprised if APS-C sensors really are that much of an improvement over m43, particularly with the G9.

And for Portrait and Studio work I prefer Nikon D850.

For studio work, I'd expect shooting at base ISO where any sort of sensor improvement won't show up much.

I did some street portraiture with lighting modifiers at the weekend, and in no way felt hamstrung by my G9. In fact, the Face Detect auto-focus was pretty much perfect.

Cheers,
Paul

Quite, Jim.

With all that gear and all those lenses, it would be difficult, if not impossible , to even learn how to use each combination adequately, let alone competently ...

Of course, there is the belief factor ...

Leaving aside the cost ...

I like gear as much as the next guy { maybe a little more } but that list is just crazy

On first viewing, I was stunned that someone had the time to regularly use 13 lenses every week. Especially with so much overlap and duplication. And yet, somehow, no pictures posted here. Seemed somehow off. Then I noticed an odd one - Leica 8-16mm. That came up as a typo recently in some other posting where the poster meant 8-18mm. I suspected the OP scraped a bunch of lens names from various postings and tossed them up there. Then I went and looked at his gear list and lost any remaining doubt that this is a fabricated review. Prior ownership of every camera and lens known to mankind. Posting history puts the nails in the coffin.

I've lurked on the DPR forums for years but I've only been posting in them for a few months. Since the acquisition by Amazon and subsequent explosion in popularity, I've noticed the comments and threads have gotten much more...er...

Interesting? (Spammy)

People with intense, unreasonable brand loyalty, fake spam reviews, trolling. You know, what every gear site has.

Good entertainment for when I am not out shooting (which it seems a lot of the posters in the DPR forums cannot do). I guess I will be hanging out more in the M43 forum since I just bought a GX9 kit + 20 1.7.

Thank you for your review.

I went and bought everything on there that you use.

I'll finally get the respect around here I deserve.

Can I borrow the EF 800?

 

[QuarryCat]

oh my gear is the point?
crazy.

Just take a look at my last gallery picture...

There is no one single camera for everything. So if you are in photography for over 30 years, you had a lot of cameras and even more lenses.
