    Long story, I'll try to keep it short. My main use for a camera is to take work photos... interiors, building exteriors/shopfronts etc... so having a wide angle is a must. Secondarily, I keep threatening to get creative, document my motorcycle jouneys, do some video stuff... just as a creative outlet.

    My first camera was a Pentax Q, awseome little camera, I invested heavily, had a bunch of lenses, but they discontinued the line & I ended up moving Canon EOS M, I have again invested heavily, have wide angle, telephoto, a 22mm prime and also a kit lense as well as spare batteries... But again, they have discontinued the line...

    Am I being stupid thinking of moving systems, or should I just stick with what I have? I don't need the best, all singing and dancing DSLR. I kind-of like the idea of some of the Fuji, retro looking cameras... They seem somehow less threatening to do street photography. Whats the quality of their systems & can I expect the lens system to stick around for the long haul. I'm pretty pissed off that companies keep abandoning me just after I spend a small fortune on them. If I stay on the M system, should I pick up the macro lens before they become (more) scarce?

    Cost of lenses would be a major consderation.
