I started shooting film when I moved to Tokyo in 1996 (Pentax compacts, then Canon SLRs up to EOS 3). Then moved to Canon DSLRs from 2002. Got a bit tired of the size and weight of my 5DMK2 and 24-70 f2.8L I was primarily using around 2012 and decided to get a NEX-6 as a 2nd system. I really enjoyed it and started adapting lots of manual focus glass. Then moved to FF mirrorless from A7R as soon as it was launched in 2013. Updated the camera every couple of years and now I'm primarily using A7CII. Also got a Sigma fp and Fujifilm X-S10 as side systems, but I primarily shoot with Sony.
The compact bodies are very enjoyable to me and I've acquired a lot of native E-mount glass on the way so there's no real incentive to switch my main system. There are also no strong competitors in the smallest and lightest EVF-equipped FF mirrorless category that I prefer.
