Aram,
Thanks, I have an SL and like it very much when I don’t have to carry it far.
I prefer my M 240 for “normal” walking around photography.
For AF or zoom, I use a TL 18-56 zoom (27-84 35mm equiv.) with the SL,
marginally heavier than the M but, sigh, APS-C.
I have an irrational desire for full-frame cameras and am still grieving over
the 35-70 R experience that I lost.
I was taught that when you recognize danger or a problem, never doubt it
because you have been fooling yourself for some time.
That moment for me came when the R9-DMR ended with no logical Leica replacement
and I have been fooling myself ever since that all will be well. Mirrorless
heavy-weights are not the answer.
I hope the knee is behaving.
Best,
Bill

Thanks for the link, Bill. I got to try the S1 version a month or so ago. I
agree with Thorsten. Great camera, but BIG and probably not for me. Like the
SL. I played with it for about 30 minutes inside and outside. If it were
30% lighter/smaller I would consider it very seriously as the mirrorless
camera that gets me to abandon my Nikon DSLR.

Hi,------
Here is a link to Thorsten’s talk about the new Lumix L-Mount cameras.
https://www.overgaard.dk/Panasonic-Lumix-S1R-mirrorless-camera-with-L-mount-Page-1.html
Spoiler: In the video, Thorsten says they are they are “… the right camera
for the the wrong guy," i.e., they are not for him.
But the important thing for me is down the page below the video: Lumix S1R
test files for free.
I downloaded the 47 MP files and received RAW2 and jpeg files and opened
them in Lightroom Classic.
The jpegs are amazing, incredible to me; I had no idea.
Take a look, especially the photo of the textured bags, and tell us what you
think.
With best regards,
Bill
