One more thing...
I'm an operator. All I've ever done my entire life since I was six years old has been to view the world through a viewfinder and lens. Before I even knew what I was doing or that there could be a career in it I had a camera of some type in my hands.
I know ZERO about bearings, design, engineering, manufacturing and very little about electronics other than RF.
All I really care about is my frame and the only problem I have with ANY gear is when it impacts my frame / composition in a negative way. Equipment should be an invisible seamless supporting role in your visual expression and should never hold you back or limit you.
Thank you!
Robert
