At one time I would not have considered any equipment other than Pentax. A little over two years ago I bought a Fuji X-Q1 compact to take with me on a trip to Italy that was going to include a week on bicycles. I was impressed with the images I got with it. Also never would have considered a camera—other than a compact—without a view finder. I ended up getting myself a Fuji X-M1 mirrorless and a 28 mm lens. Since doing so I’ve become comfortable with not having a viewfinder. The LCD screen gives me the same information I’d get in a viewfinder. My only complaint is that it’s sometimes difficult to read the screen in bright sunlight.
Yesterday I took my Pentax K-5 with the DA 4-5.6 50-200 zoom and the Fuji X-M1 with the 28mm lens with me to the graduation ceremony. I used the Pentax during the ceremony to get shots of my subject from a distance and the Fuji for closer range shots of her and her family interacting with others after the ceremony. Not the first time I’ve noticed it, but I was just really impressed with the difference in the images I got. Those from the Fuji are markedly sharper and “livelier,” those from the Pentax duller in comparison. Maybe I just don’t know how to use the Pentax? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Eric Weir Decatur, GA USA eew...@bellsouth.net "You keep on learning and learning, and pretty soon you learn something no one has learned before." - Richard Feynman -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
