I love that line from "Jaws" about a "bigger boat." I like carrying a small camera that fits into a case on my belt, but this Sony WX9 falls short. There's no viewfinder, and the picture quality leaves something to be desired unless there is lots of light. I think I'll start looking for a small camera. My cell phone is small, but it's a phone, not a camera. It doesn't have a viewfinder! 😂

In many situations, it's not practical to carry a DSLR or a mirrorless. I'm restricted to only two arms and two shoulders. I hope Human 2.0 comes better equipped.

I'm starting to like this lens more and more. Again, I don't think it's outstanding in any aspect, but it's good to very good in most so far. I don't think the micro contrast is as good as my voigtlander primes, but why should I expect it to be? I'm going to try and shoot some landscapes and compare it closer to the Nikon Z 24-200 at the 100 and 200mm end and also the 300 f4 that's the F mount lens at F8 and F10 and see if the Tamron holds it's own against those 2 lenses. I suspect it will against the 24-200, not as sure against the 300 prime but it should be close enough for me to want to part with those 2 lenses and keep the Tamron. I have the 24-120 S lens as well. So between the 20mm prime, the 24-120 and the 70-300, that should be all I need for landscapes in the future since I dont do astro and most of my images are at F8 and F10 for landscapes. Not all of course but the 20 is a f1.8 and the 24-120 is an F4, but you likely knew that already :0
