Hi from UK

[andymcd]

Just introducing myself....

 

I started out with 35mm back in the 80's, eventually ending up with some Olympus OM kit (OM-1 then OM-2 plus some glass). In 2005 I decided to switch to Nikon to give me a better route into digital (starting with an F80 and then onto D70s, D200 and finally D300). Along the way I ended up with some legacy Nikon manual focus lenses as well as some AF lenses.

 

About a year ago I bought a used X-E1 on a whim along with a Nikon->Fuji adapter and I haven't looked back, A few months later I traded my D300 and some Nikon AF lenses for a Fuji X-E2 and an 18/2. Since then I have picked up the Samyang 21/1.4 for Fuji X.

 

I'm loving the retro feel and control that the X-E2 gives me with the manual lenses and having shutter speed and aperture as dials again. I also really like the huge weight reduction compared to my Nikon kit

Hi Andy, and welcome!  Like you, I retired many of my Nikons when I discovered Fuji X cameras. I think you will enjoy this supportive forum. Many helpful folks out there if you get stuck, or if you just want to share. Cheers!

Thanks for replying. I still don't understand why it took me so long to discover how good the Fujis are - DSLR snobbery I guess
