Been away for a bit, in the middle of a huge transition. I read eyelaser's comments on tendonitis. My arms hurt, too. Sought a different cure: mirrorless. For FF, I'm going with Sony a7r, which produces beautiful images. For crop, I'm going Olympus M43 - e-m10. Here's the skinny.
The e-m10 with my ancient Oly 200 f4 weighs 1028g all in. My old Canon 400 f5.6 weighs 1462g all by ITSELF. MFD on the Canon is about 12'. The Oly MFD is about 4'. And I get a full stop of exposure speed. Hmmm...
But I'll keep the 400, because now I have an 800 f5.6!. I'll be selling both my Canon bodies, and my beloved 600 f4, but between the Oly and Sony bodies, my old Oly 200 and 300 and the Canon 400, I'll have all the desirable super-tele focal lengths covered.
Just one image today, the most presentable of my test crop so far. From the e-m10 with the Oly 200 @f4 (couldn't get this with the Canon 400). As always, comp is FF. To me, IQ is just fine. I get to fuss and fiddle (things I do well) with MF and stop-down exposure. Hey! If the images are acceptable, enjoy it while you do it.
C&C always welcome.
