The D850 is a hugely complex and well evolved camera but it is heavy, not as heavy as a D5 or a Canon 1DS mkiii but heavy compared to a Z7 or Fuji XT3.
Everything in life is a compromise, perfection is a notional idea like Brexit a million things to different people. All the cameras are compromises of weight, functionality and backwards compatibility.
We can now get on ebay adapters from China that provide fully functional use of legacy lenses on the latest cameras. I recently saw someone using a Hasselblad V series lens adapted for use on Fuji GFX50 camera but also on Nikon F/DSLR camera (with a different adapter).
Re Jeff's liking for 4/3 cameras I understand the liking of fine glass from Olympus/Panasonic/Leica but for me the compromise to the smaller sensor is a step too far except if I was doing street photography.
My photography these days is largely self funded so I dont want to invest in more kit and I feel I have more than enough. I am sure that Eric would think that I have grossly over invested!
