    I found an outlet model, with two years warranty, for not much more money ... given the issues with the rubber skin, I preferred having the warranty.

    No, in many cases you can simply crop. The difference between 200mm and 300mm is comparable to the difference between 135mm and 200mm.

    Why guilty pleasure? There's always room for one more lens.

    I honestly thought mirror lenses were something from the past! Lovely doughnuts in some of the shots [emoji14]

    Second question: long exposure noise reduction. Set it to off if you don't want it.

    Would there be enough interest to justify the development cost?

    It would surprise me when the X-A series would suddenly get an X-Trans sensor. But who knows ...

    The horizontal area you cover (at infinity) is 31m with a 200mm lens on an APS-C sensor. With a 300mm that is reduced to 20m. That's only 10m, or an angle difference of 2.25 degrees.

    I'd rather have an EVF than those extra pixels. That would make the choice between Bayer and X-Trans really interesting.

    The dog is very cute, by the way!

    This is not the best forum for actually discussing photos, it seems

    Aren't you talking about macro lenses there?

    I held a Canon 6D recently ... no way that I am going back to bulky DSLR cameras like those. My X-Pro1 with a short prime is ideal size and shape for me.

    That's mainly what I do. I do shift the focus point regularly, but that's usually for static compositions. Probably my requirements will change when we get grandchildren, but that will still take a few years

    I had such a joystick on my Canon ... I didn't use it much. So for me it's a bit of a gimmick. I do understand that for others it may be essential, so I'm not discounting the idea. Now if they came up with real improvements to the internal RAW processor (like being able to store presets), or with the option to give proper names to the custom settings (and being able to export and import them) ... that would be useful for me!

    I really think there is only one way; go to a shop and try the different cameras for yourself. It's hard to capture the tactile differences, and things like the viewfinder, in text.

    You cannot see it at web resolution, but this Samyang lens (at f/8) is absurdly sharp!

    On second thought ... if you can afford it, buy it. Otherwise you will keep thinking;" if only ..."
  22. johant
    Nobody knows.

    Nobody would buy digital Leicas if that were true

    A thing to remember, which may (or may not) play a role in your decision ... the more resolution the sensor has, the better your lenses need to be. Fortunately even the Fujinon zoom lenses are quite good, but it's something to keep in the back of your mind.

    In terms of future firmware updates and resale value, the X-T2 may be the safest bet indeed. But it's still a bet In general, money is best spent on good glass and photography books, I always learned. The books advice may not be as valid anymore as in the past though.
