I clearly remember the day I brought my new Df body home, and marvelled at its lack of weight, thinking, wow, but this will be a welcome addition. The years passed, increasingly, fast, as my life went on, and I finally bought in to lighter weight, one camera, one lens, finally a 255-85 zoom, for a European rivers tour. Camera and lens were all I could wish for, in both weight and results.
Today I dragged out the little Domke bag that is home to the Df and its little zoom lens and the 50mm f1.4 and thought two things: first, thanks be I won't need to haul that standard lens out to the garden, and second, Jeez, the old Df is getting heavy! It never occurred to me to pick up my new little darling ,my Zfc, which was bought with the excuse that it was a lightweight replacement for the heavy Df! How things change. I'll be back into my wife's Coolpix AW110 before I know it. Come to think about it, I found myself charging the Coolpix batteries for no conscious reason a week ago.
