Who is 'we' ? ;) I shoot on Fuji Provia 100F and 400F (RHP III & RDP III), Fuji Velvia (RVP) and use a Nikon F4, and always shoot with sun hood on the lenses :P For more serious stuff I drag along a manfrotto tripod, cause it's unbelievable stable. (or in case of trouble a great weapon! ;) I use that film cause in my (humble) view Fuji pro film always gives me even results, unlike Kodak (it's probably me, not the film). I've used it for over a year or 1 and a half years, after having had an F100. It's just everything I want in a 35mm camera - it just always seems to do whatever you want it to and it really suits your needs, whatever you do. Just about limitless in the quality department....it's like the (almost) perfect tool, so the results just depends on what you do with it. It's also strong, virtually unbreakable and it looks really cool. ;) What I don't like is: - With the extra battery pack that I use, the body itself weighs a whopping 1.2 kg's. With most of my lenses it comes close to 1.5 kg's and if I attach the (manfrotto) tripod I recon it's somewhere around 2kg's that I have to drag around. So just imagine taking along an extra lens or two, 10-15 rolls and a bag that's also something like 0.3kg's or something. So much for hiking :) Btw, without kidding, an F4 is a great way to work out your arm muscles. Don't laugh, since the last year I can lift really heavy stuff that I couldn't even get off the ground a year ago, hehe ;) - The AF is slow. At races it just isn't okay. So I usually do everything by hand. If I had the fast AF of an F5 I would be able to make twice as many shots, just cause now stuff happens to quickly for me to focus (like on a street, or whatever). - It attracks dust. Hate that, too many little ridges, edges, etc. Not nice to clean it 100%. - Because of the double metal shutter curtains it makes a pretty loud noise. So NOT A CHANCE IN HELL that I'll ever make a great photo in some old church with people praying or something. One CLICK and people turn around with angry faces =(
