It certainly does and I’m having more fun taking pictures with it than I have in a long time. I won’t pretend that the form factor of this Nikon FM2 film camera look alike doesn’t appeal to me. Even in low-light it focuses immediately and the images are as sharp as a tack. I was absolutely shocked by the incredible quality of the images I am able to get with the puny little 4 and 1/2 oz Nikkor 16-50 f/3.5-6.3 lens. I just turned 75 and frankly it’s not as much fun dragging it around with me all day while I’m sightseeing or going to a museum. The combo of my Canon 70 Mark II with my other favorite lens, the wonderful Sigma 18-35mm f/1.8, attached not only weighs close to 4 lbs, but is physically very large. It’s not just about the weight, it’s also about the bulk.
This new camera with lens attached weighs just 17 oz which is 2 oz less than the weight of my favorite walkaround lens by itself, Canon’s 15-85 mm. I hadn’t purchased any new gear in years. but in my case it stands for Getting old with Aches and Soreness.
