Coming from film SLRs from the early 70s , mostly the Minolta SRT , I went digital when film became expensive .
I guess al I did was to continue as if it were film - so jpeg , ISO 200 [ so I could judge how close the exposure would be ] either auto exposure or 125 shutter speed for normal conditions .
Not too keen on slow kit zooms which came with each camera , so managed a cheap 35mm for the Sony plus my 1990s Minolta 35-80 nicely extended to 50-120 in old money .
If 35mm [50mm in the past ] was wrong for the shot , that was that .
If I had to expose for the interior or the window , that's how it ever was .
The only advance for me with my current Fuji X-T 1 / X-Pro 1 / X-M1 plus gifted X-T 100 was the extended ISO range and the exposure compensation dial .
The 18-55 starts at f2.8 which is bonus and it's a heck of a lot sharper than previous kit lenses .
I also have the pancake 27mm - around 40 odd in old money .
[ I don't do much with longer zooms , , so just a couple with older digitals .]
The RAW debate continues , and I am finding that my current cameras , in RAW can overcome that problem of the interior contrast twix interior and windows , plus a whole lot of other stuff .
Maybe I am missing out on my bargain basement trawling for these clearance cameras which are capable of much more , but I am severely limited in computer know how .
Certainly have no need for the subsequent versions of my oldies , which were either new or ex-dem .
RAW just goes over my head !!!
Regards
