    Hi all! 
     
    I've done a brief introduction when I found myself posting on another thread but thought I'd come here to introduce myself too. I'm Matt and I'm a wedding photographer professionally and a street photographer in my free time (basically any hour I have to spare...)
     
    I came to photography about 10 years ago with a Sony Alpha 200, which was ok and I thought it was great at the time. Moved over to a Canon 7D, then also acquired a 1D mk II, before making the big 5D mk III purchase. I love the 5D mk III but honestly never thought of it as anything other than the 'power tool' equivalent of a camera; reliable, dependable, and there to get the job done. I heard Kevin Mullins speak at The Photography Show in 2015 and became increasingly interested in the Fuji system, and bought myself an XT1 last Summer. 
     
    Since then, I've been hooked. I must confess that I wasn't hugely sold on the 18-55mm 2.8-4 but that drove my towards primes, which I'm very happy about because I'm now the proud owner of a 23mm 1.4 and 56mm 1.2. Occasionally I wish I could go wider (and will probably end up getting the 14mm, but aside from that I really don't feel like I need anything else from my lenses. I purchased an X Pro 2 a couple of weeks ago, which I love. 
     
    So, long story short, I used the word 'love' in my last paragraph and honestly that's what I felt like I was missing with Canon; killer cameras, but I didn't get the same sense of artistry and passion from using them.
     
    Bye bye power tools, hello paint brush.
