Re: Upgrade to mirrorless or full frame?
My main body was a 7Dii with a 5dii as a backup body with EF 24-105 f4 and a EF 100-400mm mk2. Upgraded the 5Dii for a mirrorless RP as the new backup.

Black-Naped Terns, Maldives

After scanning all of my slides during lockdown and uploading them all into an Apple Mac photo programme it then allows you to run searches, in an idle moment whilst crossing checking an aircrafts designation I thought ‘how many types of C-47 have I seen?
