A place to politely discuss the tools, technique and culture of photography.

This is not a good place to simply share cool photos/videos or promote your own work and projects, but rather a place to discuss photography as an art and post things that would be of interest to other photographers.

I have the equivalent one for my Sony Alpha (APS-C), and have never looked back. Bought it for traveling, which is when I do most of my (hobby) photography, and it's just incredibly convenient! Every time a motive or some composition pops out at me, I can just shoot it straight away, there's never any limitation (at least for the things I tend to see). I'll trade that for a little bit of image quality any day of the week.

I usually carry a 35mm prime with me as well, if I really need to catch more light. They fit into my very compact camera bag together, and I just don't use anything else anymore.
