Wait until you mount a Leica lens on the gx9.
What I really miss compared to pentax is an adaptable P program line (like
MFT).

OT: cooking with GAS

2022-04-12 Thread Larry Colen
I recently mentioned that I had been thinking of getting a u4/3 camera to carry 
on my bike rather than the K-3.  Godfrey replied that he had a Gx9 and a couple 
of lenses that he was willing to get rid of to lighten his load.  As one would 
expect of him, all of the gear was in immaculate shape.

Some photos of the camera, and a couple of it next to the K-3 with 18-270

It looks like it will be a LOT easier to carry on my bike.

For my first couple of photos I used the PK adapter with my mf adaptall 90/2.5 
macro, picked a camellia off the ground in my front yard and grabbed a couple 
of quick snaps.

At least in decent light, the image quality is just fine.

It’s not the direction that I thought I’d go with u4/3, I was looking at the 
Oly Omd-m5, but the goal was something to carry on my bike, not something to 
replace my Pentaxes for more serious work, and I think it should do well for 
that.

What it lacks in size, it makes up for in features.  Trying to find anything in 
the maze of menus is an epic search.  And there are things about the UI that I 
am less than thrilled about, and a bunch of things I don’t see much use for.  
However, there were a couple of interesting surprises, like the utility of the 
touch screen.
