Mine has taken a few thousand shots in the 1.5 months I've had it. Makes the cell phone camera a non issue. Then just use the wifi to put the pics on your phone.

Truth is lately I've been seriously thinking about selling everything off at once along with a mint Gitzo/Markins combo in mint cond. I've had some recent set backs with health issues lately and just cannot shoulder the gear around. Thats why shooting with the iPhone is really ideal these days and a great option. I just have to put some serious thought into a price as a pkg and take the hit. In addition to a new rolling bag with many more accessories, I just need the push. My wife is helping with that too Wink I've already sold a few lenses recently trying to simplify things in hopes that my situation would turn around but hasn't unfortunately.


Understood completely and hoping for the best. I've been through so many DSLR bodies, compacts, mirrorless setups and just about everything is great, but never all that convenient. I went through a recent Fuji kick and had the x100, x100s, x100t, xt1, and all the glass I could afford. It was amazing but it wasn't as snappy as some DSLR's. So then I grabbed a 6d cause of how light it is, and it's great...but still a lot of work to get out with lenses and stuff.

My other compacts were amazing, especially the Sony RX1. Talk about a perfect sensor to lens match made in heaven. Well, that's great but it still required a bag to carry. All of these also seems to suck in the battery life department as well.

I gave in and got the GR II simple because it is perfect for what I needed or wanted. It's pocketable cause the lens retracts, it's about the same size and weight as my iPhone 6s, and it's totally 1 hand user friendly. With how programmable the buttons are and the layout, I can grab it from my pocket and do everything with my right hand and then put it away when done. Plus the battery actually seems to last for me.

It's always tough parting with gear and taking a hit but some of the perks can be really good that come from it.

Now, instead of missing great shots or moments and not wanting to capture them on my phone, I just pull the GR out of the other pocket and I actually have something print worthy that will hold up IQ in a larger print.

Food for thought, but I would say the GR makes a great companion. Plus, the magnesium frame makes it feel like a feather.

I'm still about to buy a 17-40mm for my 6d as I have no good Canon glass anymore. Just some cheap primes and FD adapted stuff that is nice, but cumbersome to use.

Both are fine lenses. I purchased the 17-40mm first and later purchased the 16-35mm f2.8 which was a little faster of a lens a a bit sharper in the corners. The 16-35 is also a bit heavier too, but manageable. I like em both and found it hard to make any decision to sell off one. I often purchase with thoughts of buying one and selling off another so I don't get too many overlapping ranges but sometimes it didn't work out, or I ended up repurchasing the same lens again down the road, like the 24-105mm. I'm on my second of that particular lens but actually the second ended up being a tad sharper than the first too. They're very close, but the 17-40mm isn't any slouch either, in fact many folks preferred it between the two. I just sold off a mint 24-70mm II f/2.8 which was an expensive little bugger and had thoughts about picking up the new 24-70mm f/4 which I believe has IS also but never got to it. I heard good things about it over at the FM forum from folks.

Additionally thanks folks for the great outdoors images, almost like breathing in the fresh air of the mountains in CO. Or a beautiful day on the water!

Even better yet if integrated into the sound system, though I rarely have seen two woofers in the trunk being different sizes! Big Grin

Took this at the range today.



I'll admit to being a bit startled, I didn't expect to see all these unhappy faces looking back at me when I threw something away.
