Hello everyone, first time posting here - hoping I'm in the right forum!
First of all - some background. I've been interested in photography for a few years now and that's why I bought a DSLR (Nikon D90) back in 2011. Since then I've collected a few (budget) lenses - Tokina 11-16/2.8, 18-105 VR, 55-300 VR, 35/1.8 and 50/1.8. I would usually go out photographing with two or, rarely, three lenses at most but this still is a large and heavy kit. That's why I considered I'd benefit a smaller camera and lens combination for a carry-around kit.
I've read numerous reviews of mirrorless cameras and lenses and I came to the conclusion I'll be best suited by a X-T10 with a 27/2.8 lens (or 23/2, when it comes out ). I'm a student and will be working for the summer which is the perfect opportunity to save some dough and get that kit. I've tested it (plus a few more lenses and bodies) in a store and they all seem great.
After I get acquainted with the camera (and hopefully like it enough) I could expand my setup to include a couple more lenses like a Samyang 12/2 and a telephoto (probably the 60/2.4 macro and a 50-230 zoom). After looking at my photos I've come to the conclusion my most used focal lengths are at around 12mm, 30mm and 60-80mm - so a three-prime kit should serve me well. If it works well enough it could even completely substitute my DSLR system. I wouldn't mind trying old manual lenses for a cheap short telephoto substitution - like a 50 or a 85 mm one - as well as focal length reducers. I read there'll be a Fuji sale soon so my initial combo would cost like $900 but for me it's still quite an investment. Therefore I could consider a used X-E1 and pancake lens for starters. I read X-E1s AF is slower than newer bodies - is it that bad in practice? I rarely shoot fast-moving subjects so I was wondering if it's up to the task. The D90 is quite old now but its AF is still snappy in most conditions. Have Fuji updated X-E1's focus peaking with color options yet? If not that wouldn't be very usable for MF lenses. I hope I haven't bored you with my long post. Am I on the right track? I'd love to hear your thoughts. If you're interested you could view my photos here. Thanks in advance and have a great day!
