Bit quiet. . .

Grazie, I guess I can see what u mean, but it’s too front heavy IMO.

I tried the same sort of thing with Bronica lens bellows; it looked pretty much identical to that.

Not on a tripod Richard - and even going handheld, the rods allow one to grip the front really well.
No problems whatsoever...

So - there we have it! The XM2 works well with a Matte box with rods AND looks kinda sexy too!

. . more than can be said about ManU at Prague at the moment - Ah Richard . . shame . . .

. . .

Robin, how about telling me then about some secondhand camera shops/markets for old stuff . . ?

Grazie

"more than can be said about ManU at Prague at the moment" lets not make this personal lol

And it "LOOKS" a bit front heavy, the same as when u have your WD58 on.

Come on Man U !!
...ok, it's a very boring match atm....we still got 1 minute left!

Let's not get bogged down about the way a camera looks, shall we? Surely it's how they take pictures and record sound that's important...
-though mind you, I'd prefer a dark colour on a camera any day ;-)

Well Grazie, you started it ... yeah?
Going on about how quiet it was in XM2 land - remember?
You're right, it is quiet - so quiet you can hear the motor noise on a Canon ;-)

Stay cool my man..
