Do you use lenses 90mm or of longer focal lengths? Do you do copy work? Are
special effects filters important? Is a small quite camera important? Is a
motor drive needed? Do you do a lot of syncro-sun flash photography? Answer
these question for a start to deciding if your photography needs are best
met by a M or R system.

The connivance of getting on an airplane with a shoulder bag I can run with
containing almost everything I need to complete an assignment is a big
advantage.  I left the R's and F's in their cases behind six years ago and
have never looked back.  I do not do sports anymore but that was never a
substantial part of my business.

Both system are good but which best fits the types of images you create?

Happy snaps,

Steven
