Good Morning, Gonzalo!
Sorry, that I can't tell you anything about your 'flex, with regards to
street shooting... for that's a for of photography I've never done.
The 'flex is, however, a sturday beast, with an absolutely brilliant finder.
I still miss my SL.
What I wanted to say, was welcome to the Zoo! You'll find us a congenial
group, with a lot of expertise to share, should you want it.
Glad to have you aboard!
David (the zookeeper).
