    Phelony jones reacted to lleo in Thumbs Up or a Grip or both or nothing (or half case)   
    I've never been into commercial gadgets. However I bought a grip because with my X-E2 when holding it my thumb goes on the AE-L AF-L buttons. That said now it works fine.
    The thumbgrip for me is absurd since if you have a flash, you have to detach one and attach the other every time you need it.
    Also. With the thumbgrip mounted it's a pain in the butt turn the speed dial.

    I voted with my wallet and purchased an XP-2 a month ago. I knew (as did everyone else) that a T2 was imminent, but I just preferred the rangefinder experience. I don't know why, but I really prefer it to the SLR design. I've shot SLRs for 30 years and loved them, but when I went mirrorless, I started with an XE-2 and was really amazed at how much I liked the far-left rangefinder. I purchased the XP2 in spite of its optical finder, but I find it intriguing to use, especially with my favorite lens, the 23mm. 
     
    The T2 looks really nice. I had hoped that it would have the focus joy stick and it does. It has 4K video, and that's great, but not important to me. I wish the XP2 had that great articulated screen, though, and two high-speed slots. I can see that there's a lot of love for the XT-1 on this board and I have a feeling that a lot of people here will buy T2s. 
     
    If I decide that I need a second body, I'll spring for a T2. Those of you preordering your T2s: Good luck. I'm confident that you'll really dig it.

    Billingham Hadley Pro everytime. Surpising just what you can fit inside them, it's a like a cloth tardis.

    Going to play the devil's advocate here for a moment, but my 335 Billingham has served for close of a decade now, you can see that it has seen much better days, but that bag is a trooper, it still a good bag whenever I need to mule around FF bodies and lenses and the zipper are still in pristine conditions.
     
    Billingham bags are super expensive but they will stand the trials of time and come out victorious while others will have replaced several parts already.
    I have often considered getting myself a Hadley Pro but the usage I would have of it does not justify its price. The 335 was a self gift for when I started this whole thing and I am glad that I did.

    Hi All,
     
    my first posting here, since leaving m43 and later Sony. Wanted a good zoom and 16+ megapixel setup, so I can not wait for the XT-2. For now the 100-400 is coupled with the XT-1. Had a wonderful time in the coastal area in Holland, waterleidingduinen it is called.
