Hi there... at least some of you will recognize me as a long-time member of Amin's two other sites, mu-43.com and Serious Compacts. I've been a photo enthusiast since the mid 1970s. My first SLR, which I still own, was a Minolta SRT-200. 100% manual with only a battery for the built-in light meter. I got by with a single lens, the Rokkor-X 50mm f/2.0 - for many years. I moved into digital about ten years ago. I currently own a Pentax K-5 with about a dozen lenses including most of the DA Limited primes. I also run a micro four-thirds kit: A Panasonic G3, a Panasonic GX1 and an Olympus E-PM1 with three primes and four zooms. But it really has been my desire to augment my Pentax kit with a rangefinder-style camera with a built-in EVF. While the Sony NEX7 got my attention, it is the NEX6 that I am seriously considering. The new 18-55 compact kit zoom, the new 35mm f/1.8 prime and the availability of the inexpensive Sigma 19 and 30mm f/2.8 primes only help. So I'm joining this site to explore and learn.
