Thanks Ben, glad to know I wasn't the only one with vision crazy syndrome (bet that isn't in the DSM though)

As for mirrorless, you're right about size - not just the bodies but the lenses. The Canon R lenses are bigger, way bigger, than their L equivalents (and way more expensive). That's the reason I bought the Z7. I knew I didn't want to lug around those huge canon lenses. I can put my canon 135mm f2 on the Z7 and everything works, aperture and AF. Yes, it's not a small kit, but it's still smaller than the 5D Mark IV, or the equivalent DSLR, and over the course of the day, even relatively minor differences have an impact.
As for your 'if it ain't broke don't fix it" comment, oh Curtis, Curtis, no-one is saying DSLRs are broke, they're essentially the same camera as mirrorless, minus the ......er.......mirror. I'm sure there's a section in the DSMIV about people who can't let go of mirrors. The advancements in technology that bought EVFs and electronic shutters are just beginning, they're going to continue, especially as every camera company, even Hasselblad and Leica, has gone mirrorless.
As for your exposure problem, I don't have the 55mm anymore, I have the 5.8cm , works perfectly on the Z7. Rafael says the problem is that your aperture is slow. Not sure what he means by that. You ask whether it's "time to move to Fuji/Sony/Leica?" You're citing restricted retirement income yet you're considering Leica........?........I think you might have a couple of the DSMIV pages stuck together. After your comment about the small grip on the Df I doubt you'll like Sony's handling. The Fuji's are crop cameras. The Z6 is a screaming bargain right now.
Reagan - the word 'banal" haunts me too - but I didn't come up with it, it was Philippe (although he denies it now). I took a pic of the Colosseum the other day with the 20mm f3.5UD but I didn't dare post it because of the "b" word.
Laura - yes, I know, that drove me crazy too. That's a bow on her cane.
Doug - welcome - not really my place to welcome you, as I'm a blow in myself -and I don't have any criticism of your pic -
I like it but then I'm into dark moody pics. If I had to nitpick I'd say it's a little bit cool, I'd have warmed it up just a smidgen - but that's not a criticism, just personal taste. Nice work, and nice to see the 24mm NC.
