Greetings from the Eastside of the Sierra Nevada Mountains

[Hwy 395]

Good to be here. Excited to try Sony from 4 decades of Nikon. Sold all my Nikon stuff and picked up an Alpha 6700. I finally gave up on Nikon's lack of support [after decades of waiting - hoping they would change] of smaller form factor APSC bodies and a wide lens selection for them for them through native and 3rd party companies. Despite Paul Simon's Kodachrome song, it pained my to leave Nikon, but I decided to make the jump to Sony APSC for smaller size - wider ranging options. I just got tired of big full frame gear that mostly sat at home, especially during my outdoor adventures. Mirrorless FF helped, but I guess I am often too old, lazy or broken to want to carry it now. I still enjoy the same things I did when I was younger: kitesurfing, climbing, skiing, biking and hiking, but I don't want big full frame gear to drag to the top of those endeavors anymore. Defaulting to the cell phone is just - uninspiring. Looking forward to going fast and light again a la Galen Rowell, my early hero. I think I made the right choice.

Welcome aboard Adam, I'm always glad to see more APSC users sign up
Edit: I also have an A6700 and am enjoying it so far.

As I can see the sierras from my balcony, I was thinking of a potential meet up. Different continent however.

Welcome!
