Yes, but how often do I use a zoom lens at f/2.8? I have primes for that. For ultra-wide and long telephoto lenses, the quality differences are to much to ingnore, but for standard zooms, kit lenses have become pretty darn good. This one I was given for free from a person who just had to have a "pro" lens (GAS). Nobody would buy the kit lens for a sensible price, so he asked if I could find any use for it. I could. It's been my go-to video lens for a while.
You are right, Jorgen !!! You do not need a Full Frame camera !!!I've just had one of those "I think I need a new camera, a full frame one. Wonder which one I should buy" moments. Then I did a shoot of the teak deck of a new yacht and had a look at the details in those photos... I don't need no full frame, bling in your eye, super shallow depth of field gadget. I need to utilise what I have better, and take more photos, shoot more video. Full frame project cancelled.

Congratulations on retirement from your day job! How many jobs do you have?It's been busy days and no time for photography. Hopefully, that will change from Monday and onwards, when I retire from my day job.
I did take some shots at the launch of a new yacht yesterday though. GX8 with Panasonic 100-300mm:
For her 9th birthday 3 weeks ago, my daughter got a skateboard. Last night was the first attempt at a real skate park. Here's her fifth attack on the slope. GX8 with Panasonic 25mm f/1.7 @ f/1.7.
My day job has actually been very fulfilling and taken most of the available 24 hours per day, at least until the pandemic. I've always done a little bit of freelance work on the side during weekends though, mostly photography. That will increase now and be expanded to the whole week when possible; photography, video, animation, and the odd graphic design job. The retirement was actually planned for 2023, but Covid-19 eradicated much of my job. One just has to adaptCongratulations on retirement from your day job! How many jobs do you have?
