First, do I still have to post in plain-text mode? What happened was: In spring of 2013 I got super-busy at work and had to cut back on mailing lists. But hey, I left Google on St Patrick’s Day 2014, and I’ve really missed you all. I hope nobody died while I was away.
What else happened was: In March 2013 I was going to Tokyo on biz and the Big Island with the family and the thought of carrying the SLR and heavy glass discouraged me so I bought a Fujifilm X-E1 with a couple of tiny excellent lenses, and took a buttload of pix with it and I have to say that for a younger person getting into serious photography, mirrorless is probably the future. They just weigh so much less. But... we have a cabin, and at the cabin you don’t carry cameras around, you sit on the deck with a cool beverage on a comfy chair, admiring the view. So my K-5 and 50-135 and ancient Tokina 400 get propped up on knees and railings and take pix like these: http://www.tbray.org/pdml/sspatc/ The X-cameras and Fujinon X-lenses are not actually better than any particular Pentax, they’re just smaller and lighter. -- 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.
