Cheers Paul. I’m actually doing Switzerland next year and was toying with going mirrorless to reduce weight a bit. Maybe z7ll ? Dunno yet. Recently learned they do a f to z converter to save swapping all your glass out. Wife nearly bought me on at RIAT but I told her to hang fire until I did more research. The auto tracking system is insane
I’ve no doubt, the day will eventually arrive when I do have to start considering the next step…just the same as it was from film to digital. But for now, I’m still happy and gear lust free.
It will happen, so good luck with your choices, I’ll be interested to hear your thoughts as you progress…
Well, I have finally succumbed to temptation. I went and bought a Nikon z6ii. The z6ii has been out a while now but that allows to get a pro body mirrorless for sensible money. I didn’t want to swap out all my lenses yet so I also bought a ftz adapter so I can mount my f mount lenses. This seemed the sensible option at this early stage to see how I’m going to get on with it.
So, so far the only thing I have to get used to is the auto focus modes, it’s slightly different on a mirrorless than a dslr.
I Love the electronic viewfinder, adjusting settings gives live results ( if that makes sense), the auto tracking eye detection I found is incredibly good.
The camera build quality is very good also
First impressions are very positive. I still love my dslr and will still use it but it’s now time to move forward.
Cool. Looking forward to seeing the results of the new kit.
I’m still eyeing a Canon R6 MKII - but they don’t come down in price that much. Was hoping they would, with the MKIII being out for a while… Second hand they’re still a bit pricey as well…
