You might consider a non-SLR camera like the Olympus E-PL1 or Panasonic GF-1. These have many of the advantages of an RF but at a much lower price. Both these bodies can also take an optional electronic VF. -----Original Message----- From: Andrew Allen <andrewdall...@gmail.com> Sender: pdml-boun...@pdml.net Date: Fri, 24 Dec 2010 00:39:56 To: <pdml@pdml.net> Reply-To: Pentax-Discuss Mail List <pdml@pdml.net> Subject: Focal Length Constriction and RF's
First, let me say thank you to those who e-mailed me with suggestions on how to enjoy this mailing list and send some specific messages straight to the circular file. That being said, I suppose one must have a thick skin when dealing with any 'open' internet forum. Back to photography, I was wondering if anyone has the same affliction I do; that is, using certain focal lengths almost exclusively. I find that 90% of my needs are covered by the rough range of 24mm - 85mm (this being a 35mm equivalent range). That is wide through portrait - clearly, I don't do any birding or serious sports work. Recently, I had a friend told me I should try out a RF for my needs - of course I'd love an M9 - but I've yet to win the lottery. Any thoughts on this focal length constriction, and the use of a RF for street shooting versus a DSLR? -- Andrew Allen Freelance Photographer and Writer www.andrewallenphoto.com -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
