Honestly, it just never felt right.
Very heavy, too many menu options (especially for autofocus) for the
grands. Certainly not a walk around camera for me.
If I were a traveling person, it would be great. Would only need the 2
zooms and certainly manageable.
The results were certainly outstanding, but the ergonomics drove me nuts.
So traded for an M10+A7rII with sensor glass modified for leica wide angles
(no comment please Mr. Herr).
Lost just a few bucks, but I really wanted to try it based on the results I
saw from Tina's last trip to Syria I think.
Just didn't fit me in many ways. So it goes...
