Hi all! I’m new here but have been quietly reading along absorbing all the great advice.
Currently checking my options for the jump from 35 to 120 and would like to consult your advice. I’d like to shoot 1/1000s so that rules out the M645 and M645J. I like the Super for its lightness and price range, but I read about a common issue with the mirror which I’m not fond of (it should be noted there is now a 3d printing pattern available that allows you to have this fixed more easily). Then I felt the Pro might be a better option (slightly more expensive and bulky), but I realized the same mirror issue occurs as frequently with that model as well. So newer is not better. The 1000s seems to hold up well, but it’s also the heaviest of the series. I’ve only held a M645 in my hands and I’d say that would be around the max weight for a camera I would swing around my shoulder for a day out.
Looking forward to hear your thoughts! Thanks in advance!
