Ramble....
I often don't carry my 5D Mark III around when I feel I should. A 40mm STM might help, but still, ya' know the ol' DSLR is hefty. But for now it is safe and looking svelte(ish) with the 85 f1.8 mounted. You know, I like the 85, but the MFD drives me mental - it would be infinitely more usable if the MFD were to be halved.
I have been yearning for a camera I can slip in a belt pouch, but that gives solid results. I have been eyeing the Ricoh GR (excellent work guys and gals) and watching the image threads for that and the A6000 (another contender), but in terms of purchasing I might wait and see what 2015 updates bring. Currently the A6000 is overpriced locally IMO and I am not interested in the 16-50 kit lens.
All this is leading toward a lighter, less bulky, travel-friendly, non-intimidating set up. The 70-200 f2.8L will remain in service for stage shoots on the 5D3, or perhaps a 6D subsidised by today's sale?
So in the spirit of weight loss, today I listed my 1D Mark III. Then I viewed images I have shot with it and definitely felt pangs of regret. But it was gone within hours - I price to sell - one of my students will buy it in two installments.
Further weight loss has occurred with my Lightroom catalog being driven below 1 terabyte as I am on holiday and free to cull. Archives and have been made on 1TB drives and they are now stored offsite.
Mirrorless? Is that you calling?
