You'll have to do a bit of legwork and find one with the other features you like.

I've tried Olympus (very good), Nikon (OK), Canon (OK). Pentax is my favorite.

I do the half press thing too; been doing it for a long time. ...but it's not the same as pre-focusing with MY brain, so that I can just lift the camera and quickly get the shot. (using hyperfocal ...

AF film cameras did that before digital too, but it's not the same, in either case. This sounds awesome. I may go back to iPhone when my trusty LG dies... My girlfriend's dad just got one of the ...

(1) Offer firmware to E-PL9 owners to make it an E-PL10 (2) Drop the E-M1X (3) Make an XZ-3 (4) Get back into film cameras by ...

...when I had my humble D610 and the 50/1.8G, I did some indoor shots with flash at high ISO, and the noise was so low it was almost a religious experience. It does have its place.

Exactly. That person might be working hard at a high-paying job, so that s/he doesn't have much time left for hobbies. I know my ex-wife is one of those people. (and she looks down at my ...

> I think you're doing fine with your culling. Very nice work. I just Followed you.

(as others have pointed out) Olympus gear might be available at deep discounts in the near future. Also: Olympus gear MAY become collectible. There are some cameras, even digital ones, that have ...

> when I get the guts. I'll bring my E-M10.3 + 17/1.8 only . Maybe I'll even break down and try the body cap normal lens?

Have you ever considered FF with 70-200/4 + Ricoh GR as a semi-lightweight kit? I think a lot of people do the 8-12 hour thing at first, and then graduate to a lighter kit as they get more experienced

Back in the 90s, I used to carry my whole collection all the time. It usually consisted of something like this: (1) 35 mm SLR with a slow 28-85 (2) Slow 70-210 (3) B ...
