sounds fun.  I had a 3 yr romance w/ D750.  I met my wife when i took it into her 'shop' for service.  It's a very nice camera.  I've gone a dif route lately, buying the A7rii.  quite happy.  the ...

exactly... i've used neither lens, but reading that (on more than one occasion) is what inclines me to believe it is overpriced "that being said", they probably both have their place.  GOOD LIGHT & ...

As a counterpoint, my fav blogger liked the 24-70f4

give Havoc a break for goodness sake.  Why is his stating the obvious so freakin controversial?! I've probably glanced at half a doz reviews of the 24-70f4 over the years, and i don't recall a ...

suggest u get yourself the little 45-150 = a lotta bang for the buck!  The Oly is even cheaper, but not quite as good - especially on  GX85

thanks Bobby... at 1st it was infatuation, but felt more substantial with each day

NZ is definitely on my Bucket list grins!

yeah, me2... just love the hi contrast! thanx

"Noise seem to be the challenge on the 1" sensor. M43 seems be in a totally different league." Not so!  Perhaps u r confused by the fact that until (I believe) there last model, Nikon was using ...

my Sigma 30f1.4C is about the sharpest of my dozen m4/3 lenses.  If it is indicative of what we can expect from the 56, then i expect Olympus to get spanked!

the 50f1.4A is a huge full frame lens that cost 2x more than 56f1.4C

i dont doubt that rx10 iv = best "swiss army knife"  [if u r willing to sacrifice ergo, reach & aperture in exchange for pocketability... the rx100vi]

actually it uses only a portion of m4/3 sensor, putting it about midway 'tween the two formats

u r welcome Rudi

Wow, what a special place... maybe best landscapes yet .  Affordable, friendly, accessible, receptive to us photog's, mild summer, clear skies... what's not to like?! These were all done w/ A7rii & ...

wow... that certainly wasn't my experience!  Nor w/ G85.  Pretty close to the IBIS i got in EM5ii.  And w/ dual IS = about the same.  G9 dual IS even better.

1 last wide-angle from the cape point

i agree!  Use $ for a prime, class, or use towards a trip

Here's the story behind the pix of the bldg, as drmarkf said: One of the most interesting bldgs I've ever seen - at Capetown marina - they converted an old concrete grain silo complex into hotel & ...

thanks for the complements guys... it was fun (even though a huge chore of photo triage... whittling down 2k to about 700).  I relied more upon my A7rii = many of my best - not shown here.  But I ...
