Here are some of the pics from an open archery meet held at Punggol. Wish I can share some of the other pics. But I think the women will skewer me if I shared without their consent

Basket, thinking of equipment again,lol.

Anyone uses Sony A7 series with Voigtlander 35mm f1.4 lens?

I like the look of this combo and it'slightly smaller/lighter than DSLR.

Great combo!

Thanks. B&W on this combo is pretty "glowy" on the subject.

Why not just get RX1?

Less flexibility on focal length as RX1 is a fixed lens body. No on-body EVF too.

If you use only 1 lens most of the time, why not?

 

The only downside is f2.

Still prefers the flexibility of the A7 with the EVF.

If it's f1.4, will definitely consider it but they must find a way to shrink the size first. Maybe a built-in speedbooster or something.

What do you mean shrink the size?

Cos if the lens had a big aperture of f1.4, the size and weight of the lens would increase tremendously.

I think RX1 with EVF is no bigger than A7 with 35mm f1.4 lens.  Right?

[ChristopherChia]

My fav local length is 35mm. Besides the heavy full frame setup, I got the m4/3 setup, EM10 and 17.5mm f0.95 lens (actually not that light also haha).

1 of the biggest plus point for RX1 is discreet.

 

A lot of ppl will not notice it at all.

Nikon closes factory in China:

I bought my last compact camera at least 10 years ago. No wonder Nikon has to close 8t compact camera factory....

[Victor68]

I think compact camera with non inter-changeable lens will be faced out soon with handphone camera getting better. Whether it is mirrorless or otherwise, the big item is the lens. Till technology can replace lens, the camera will stay more or less the same.

Any good places to get 35mm film locally?

I recently got a gift of a Nikon FA - I would to put that and my FM2, FE2, FG through their paces :)
