Playing with new gear and I'm still leaning but I already have great feel.   Yes, I'm in transition period to "Full Frame" except...  I'm keeping m43.    ....and....    a 35mm film.


A several years of technology advance means the gear so much easy to handle and producing a great image a little bit easier.  Well, I still believe gear is a tool and the one behind is the key factor.  However, I have to admit new technology/gear helps a lot.  
It handles old manual focus lens very well, focus is easy. 

A process I've done here is nothing so special from what I have done in past.  It has been warmed up a little on highlight and WB is on shade for start.
