I know that feeling - my problem is that filming gear is so damned heavy. My current camera rig weighs in at about 18 lbs, the tripod slightly less, and the Peli roller case about 30 lbs !! At 62 I’m okay for a little while yet…
Stills camera wise, I don’t do much these days, but that will change once I finish refitting my sailboat and am on the water - hopefully later this year. I have my little Fuji X20 as a grab-and-go cam, and a bag with the MFT Olympus Pen and 12/2, 15/4.5, and Pentaxes 50/1.4 and A*85/1.4. The little Fuji is my only zoom. I’d like to get a used Oly OM-1D ii at some point and *maybe* a longer zoom for some on the water shots as doubtless I’ll be seeing some pretty interesting light ‘out there’. Weight-wise, my bag with the 2 cameras and 4 lenses plus batts weighs less than the filming camera :-D If I go walking with just the Pen in hand it usually has the 12mm Samyang aboard, maybe the Voigtlander 15mm if size is an issue. For concert photography the 50mm and 85mm swop places depending on how far away from the stage I am. Concerts picking up again here so I’ll be doing some more - will post the results in due course. Hope all well. Cotty On 11 Mar 2022, at 14:07, Paul Stenquist <pnstenqu...@mac.com> wrote: I never thought I’d say it, but at 74, I’m worn out. I don’t know how much longer I can keep carrying big glass and a full frame camera on a walk through the woods. Yes, my k-3 is lighter, but it’s still a lot of camera with a lens that’s long enough to shoot wildlife. -- %(real_name)s Pentax-Discuss Mail List To unsubscribe send an email to pdml-le...@pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
