certainly wouldn't want to shoot portraits or product photos with one, but
for landscapes and street shooting, it's perfect.
What disqualifies the M7 as a portrait shooter ....... the absence of
changeable backs or rangefinder [non-TTL focusing] format?
Or is it just a matter of the hassy being perceived as the "serious portrait
photographer's" stock in trade. As a matter of interest the pro who took my
daughter's wedding photos in 1998 came armed with a hassy and a couple of
backs. One got jammed on the body and he ended up using his stand by ......
a 35mm SLR. Sad.
