started with RP the R6s

if i knew i was gonna enjoy photography so much would i change anything?

probably gone straight to L lens.

photo store sort of said lets learn photography first then glass

but a photography mate said go for best glass possible he suggested 24/70 2.8 which 2 yrs down the track i have.

if ya dont like it lose passion good glass sells quick.

bodies wouldnt change a thing for storm photography.

home from hospital finally gave camera a cuddle

I've had a few serious cameras over the years — Asahi Pentax, Mamiya, Hasselblad, Rollei, Nikon, Leica, Canon — and have always chosen camera first and added lenses to the body. I have had no regrets in doing it that way round.

Mind you, I have never referred to my lenses as 'glass'.

i never envisage needing anything better than R6 and like ive said alot the RP for storm photograhy is no slouch and actually good enough. Was birds in flight that made me get R6 as well. A skilled photographer probably make do with RP for birds.

The live composite from olympus is interesting feature though. Amate has one still learning with it
