Small and light? Not sure the R5 or R3 fall into that category particularly! The R3 is lighter than the 1DxMk3 to be sure - but light? Nah. The R5 is lighter obviously, until you add the grip - when its up there with the R3!

As for film - each to their own - but it's no longer for me. Much prefer digital.

Rather late to this party, and I prefer film as well, but I do use my wife's a7r2 which was superceded by her a7r3. My take, as a former Olympus OM 35mm user, is that mirrorless gets you back to small and light - plus I can use my OM lenses. The viewfinder lets me see the effect of the exposure, so I can adjust knowing whether I need to. The magnification feature helps with manual focusing.

Don't pop in much these days but good to see some photos added.

Hope you had a wonderful time away.

I have a look in every now and then - shame as it was a good place to be for a long time.

We had a fabulous time - the wildlife was amazing. And the scenery. Shame that there have been some pretty bad fires in and around Jasper as it will have destroyed a lot of the town and area.
