Two Ducks

I've been gone a long time. My entire photographic world has changed. I don't even own a DSLR any more. My main camera is a Fuji X-E1.

Since I have no idea what's going on with the forum feel free to fill me in if you feel moved to do so. I stopped by in the hope that one of my favorite forums still exists and new & old folks are still taking photos and posting.

Beautifully sharp and clear shot Bob.

That's a cracker Bob

What's the situation with the camera then ?

The technology for mirrorless cameras has evolved where the image quality is better, sharper, lighter and less expensive than DSLR gear. My $3,000 Nikon D800 body with its $1900 Nikkor 24-70mm F/2.8 lens aboard weighed a ton and cost me $5,000. My Fuji X-E1 cost a third as much, takes sharper pictures with faster glass that cost 1/4th the money. My entire new Fuji system, with 3 great lenses can be carried in a small shoulder bag and picked up by two fingertips. It just became too expensive & tiring to stick with older technology. I'm thrilled with the Fuji camera and super high quality lenses.
