Now, now, Godfrey, let's not get into a fight over nothing.
And I never told Tom he should use a DSLR, nor did I attack mirrorless
cameras. Tom can use whatever makes him happy, I was just ribbing him
because he seems to be enjoying his mirrorless Sony but comments on
liking manual aperture rings, which Fuji provides in its lenses. My
comment was so apropos it's being considered as an example to be used
in the upcoming edition of the Oxford English Dictionary - Stupid
Online Discussion Supplement.
And you can also use Pentax lenses on a Fuji mirrorless, so really,
what's all the fuss about?
Cheers,
