    I've owned a canon 1000d, 40d, 7d, 5d MKII, 6d, fuji x100 and a fuji x100s over the years.
    The fuji xt1 is by far my favourite

    That says alot.
    I sold all my canon gear a few weeks ago to switch to fuji.
    I've now have a X-T1, a 10-22mm f4, 23mm f1.4, 27mm f2.8, 56mm f1.2 and a older 135mm f2.8 FD via an adaptor.

    Do you find you use a particular lens more than the others?
    I saw some beautiful pics from the 56mm... want it badly!

    If I'm out for the whole day I go for the 27mm for portability. Landscape stuff is the 10-22m but otherwise the 56mm is my go to lens.

    Currently have access to loads of cameras in work but usually use either OMD/GX7 bodies with my existing M43 lenses

    Soon to be a proud owner of the 4K guzzler that is the GH4!!

    Then my pennies will be going towards a 42.5mm (85mm) F1.2 Nocticron!

    Seems to be a strong preference here for a 5D or 6D body, with a 27-70mm/24-105mm, and a 70-200mm.
    I think I need to upgrade to Full Frame.

    Why? Because everyone else is using FF? Doesn't make any sense if that's the case. You choose your equipment to suit your subject matter, style of shooting and your pocket.

    Nothing else matters.

    Any reason you didnt buy the 35mm?

    It seems reasonably priced at around 500 Euro.

    I have my reasons thank you. I also have a 24-105mm and a 70-200mm lenses. However I find the 24-105 not wide enough. FF would solve that. I could also benefit from better high iso performance. But the fact is that this type of setup is popular for a very good reason.

    There is no need to be so arsey in your reply.

    35mm on my fuji would be equivalent to 50mm on a FF. I've never really liked 50mm. Too narrow for indoor shots / landscape and not long enough for portraits / candid stuff

    Thanks answering. For the 35mm 1.4 how do find the sharpness? I read some reviews criticising it and some praising it.

    I don't own a 35mm. The 23mm f1.4 however is awesome

    Nikon D50 (yes still) and old Nikkor 50mm 1.4 lens. V nice.

    Hasselblad 500CM with Zeiss 80mm lens & Kiev88 copy of Hasselblad with 50mm & 80mm lens.
    In fairness the nikon is a lot less to carry and will do for work,the other ones are for tripod or that special occasion. They weight is a lot..
    Anyone else here use similar?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 72 ✭✭RickyWed


    I used to shoot with Fuji x100 a greta camera though.
    Now Nikon d7000, Sigma 17-55mm 2.8, Nikon 50mm 1.8D, Nikon 80-200mm 2.8 great camera not really need FX body yet but sooner or later will have to upgrade.
