Hello: I own M equipment, EOS equipment and Hassy 503cxi. I am only a serious amerture. I use M equipment most of time. I have the most fun taking photos with it. They are small, light weight and many people does not pay much attention when I use a taped M equipment. I use EOS (EOS1n, EOS5, 28-70L, 70-200L + 2x TC) for school sport football games. Now, the season is over and I have not touched it for AGES! Oh boy, Hassy 503cxi. I don't even remember when was the last time I use it. Anyway, Hassy 180CF and 100 Makro are super lenses. I would use it for extremely serious in door portraits and landscapes. School work is getting busy for me and I don't travel for landscape photography anymore. My next trip is to Canadian Rocky Mountain in May as a celebration of graduating from univ. Guess what equipment I will bring with me? Definitely 2 M bodies and 3 lenses. They fit in my waist bag Tamrac 701 with a added-on lens holder. You should give us some more info. about what type of photography do you do? So we can give you better suggestions?
