@canonuk asked me to try out their new mirrorless camera #EOSM5 so I made some pictures on the streets of #Barcelona. Super small and light so I did a mix of street photos and portraits with it. Here is a tourist I photographed in El Gòtico

@canonuk asked me to take their new mirrorless camera #EOSM5 for a spin on the streets of #Barcelona. Super small and light. Here is a photo of a street scene in El Raval using a tiny EF-M 18-150 zoom lens
