I'll use my Sony A77 for grab shots, but when I want to shoot for enjoyment I will take my XD-11 and a set of Rokkor/MD primes. There are still one or two lenses on my wish list, but what I have are simply wonderful and the XD-11 provides a vastly more satisfying experience than today's "computers with lenses". The simplicity of the instrument allows me to concentrate on composition, exposure, and the characteristics of the lens and film. And the XD-11 is much smaller and quieter. I suppose aesthetics are personal choice, but to me an sr-T, XE, or XD camera simply looks and feels better than anything made since.
