Hi everyone,
I'm a X100 shooter but come from a mostly film background (a Contax 139 feels "compact" to this medium format film shooter). My mostly positive experience with the X100 has led me to reconsider gear in a big way - I'm a "serious" compact conversion case study. Maybe years of lugging around a Lowepro backpack and tripod with a combined check in weight of more than 20 pounds (before food and other, um, essentials) has converted me too. Actually... I still love film, but despite being in the technology business, I've never really enjoyed scanning film.
At the moment I'm exploring the NEX (7) as a good versatile platform for all sorts of things. Complement to or replacement of the X100? Still to be determined.
Cheers to all,
Mike
