Long ago, I worked with film cameras and developed my own prints in darkrooms. For years, I shot with DSLR equipment professionally. I enjoyed and appreciated the quality of images that I was able to create with that system. Times have changed, and my need for a large bulky system is gone. I’ve completely switched over to using a LIGHTWEIGHT mirrorless camera system for my professional work. I often get questions from people who love their mirrorless cameras and want to know how they can make great photos without having to lug around heavy, bulky equipment.
