When I need to move around a lot and work very fast - the 5D with auto focus system lenses fit that attitude. When I need to accomplish studied, precise compositions - the R8/DMR with manual focus primes fit that attitude. When I need a perfect documentary, always with me, tool - the M8 fits that attitude. When I need a contemplative, totally manual, craft tool - the M8 and Visoflex fits that attitude. Visoflex attitude Example: Laying on the grass in a park, or on the sand of a beach with the Viso and chimney viewing hood, and 65 and/or 135 Elmar allows for an extremely fresh and relaxed point of view; which the people around you will not, or barely, notice; due to view angle, small and inconspicuous profile, and quiet operation. <http://www.imagist.com/blog/?p=3316> <http://www.imagist.com/blog/?p=3596> (and the manual craft required soothes the nerves if you're one who enjoys drawing, manual tool woodwork, etc.) Regards, George Lottermoser george at imagist.com http://www.imagist.com http://www.imagist.com/blog http://www.linkedin.com/in/imagist
