Greetings all, Steve from Essex here, hope you're all well!
I've just realised a long-term dream and got myself a 5D Mk IV with a 24-70 f2.8.
A keen amateur tog, I started my delve into 'proper' photography (i.e. interchangeable lenses) a few years ago with a mirrorless set-up, Fuji XT-1. It was a great camera, with some great lenses (notably the XF56 1.2), but I found myself mostly in pp trying to emulate the 5D colours & look-and-feel, and so I've finally given that up to go full frame DSLR.
I've fallen in love straight away. Some things will take getting used to...no EVF, the extra size/weight... but I think I'm over that already. We'll see how the new R range lens line-up shapes up in the future. I may well go back mirrorless eventually, but for now I'm (very VERY) happy with the choice I have made!
I've got a lot of reading up & settings-tweaking to do, and I'm v much looking forward to getting stuck in and having a proper play with my new toy.
Lens want-list = 16-35mm; 50mm 1.2; 85mm 1.2... I've got some saving to do!
Cheers!
Steve.
