I agree also that I general that while size matters, I tend to subscribe to George's assertion that technological advancements mean that cameras like the Fuji X series are able to deliver results to match or even surpass older generation full frames and MFs. I am open minded and accepting of changes. Have always dismissed the 4/3 system as it has one of the smallest sensors for DSLRs. However after getting feedback from Len who BTW is a wonderful and most reliable source of information, I am planning to embark on a whole new adventure with the Olympus OMD EM-5. I have a PaceMaker Speed Graphic 4x5 and the Epson V700 to scan all these wonderful film shots. 4 sets of the big but versatile Fuji GX680 MF film camera with 8 lenses and plan to get a suitable digital back. The Contax 645 system including the amazing 120 APO lens ( only short of the 300mm glass) and more lenses than I need. All these in the fervent hope that one day I can be in the same league as Tina, Ted, Luis and other Luggers (Luggites). I shot everyday if I can but I am no pro. I read LUG several times a day and try to learn more. May turn into a pro once I retire but for now have a photo club here in Saigon. Appreciate somewhere along the line a true pro helps me now and then. David Ching
