Originally posted by marmitse I never understood the greatness of the micro 4/3 - tiny camera bodys, but with lenses that still are so bulky that they will not fit in a pocket. That has kept me on Pentax DSLR + additional compact cam (Fuji x20) when I really need light packaging and mobility. Maybe just old fashioned. Would be interesting to hear your motive for going to Sony Nex.
I agree that it's not a very pocketable system but still a very handy and light system compared to DSLR with the same lens. Although I owned and loved Pentax DSLRs from years (K100D, Kx, k-5, k-01), the manual focusing with nex is breeze and so much better. That's how I started using nex as my primary system and then slowly sold all my DSLR except K-01. And now this metabone adapters which gives me a full frame experience on aps-c, seriously amazing (pls check my
gallery, many pics with nex+metabone+M50/1.4).
Earlier I thought, I won't be comfortable without the viewfinder. However, now I am extremely comfortable shooting using swivel LCD (especially street shots), even on NEX-6 which has evf. Still kept K-01 as I have many Pentax AF lenses, I just wish it had a swivel lcd.
