Since this prefix was kindly invented by Asher for a recent thread of mine, I will continue to use it here.
Previously I posted that was ready to sell my PhaseOne P24 and go 5D2 --the lenses to go with the EOS was one topic of conversation--, and the first move. A fast one for the demand of the gear-- was to sell my Nikon D300. That phase is complete. No more DX.
My budget lets me get the Canon and about 2 lenses since I am NOT selling the MF just yet.
I will give the system a chance now that a friend invited me to go to a natural reserve known for its spectacular views in the high plateau of Bolivia.
It will be a 5 day tour of salt deserts and red lagoons with flamingos, so lets see what the MF back can do.
This will be the first such trip I do with the system that was used before to document art work in Manhattan --when it was paid off with such assignments--
The theme of the experiment is: Can we be content with old digital gear? --(a bit in reference to a thread about upgrading from a Mark III to a Mark IV)
Probably the challenge will be juice management at low temperatures (I only have 3 batteries), but the good thing is that most of the time we will be in a car where batteries can be charged and/or at night hotels ...
The other missing aspect is lack of a long lens --longest is a 150mm Mamiya and a 180mm fujinon via an adapter--... To be continued
ps I will be going to the Reserva Eduardo Avaroa Bolivia
