Moving over from Nikon

[EvolutionX]

Hello all,

 

I have owned the Nikon D90, D7000, D7100 and just sold my D750 to get the Fuji XT-1. Oddly enough my decision was based on looks. I love the looks of it. But it just so happens to be a great camera as well. It has caused me to slow down a little since everything isn't controlled by a couple of spin wheels on the front and back. But I think that is a good thing.

Yes, the Fuji cameras beg you to pick them up and use them. I'm pretty happy carrying them around anywhere, certainly more places than I was comfortable taking my D600 and 24-120 monster.

I have been looking on ebay at how cheap some of the old D lenses are. Thinking about getting the turbo adapter and some of those. I actually like manually focusing with the Fuji. It kind of give me a sense of accomplishment as I made the photo that sharp not the camera.

Got xt10 in January and have loved it so much I'm selling my Nikon D7100 and all my lenses. Except my macro lenses which I'm using a meta one adapter. Reasons for move... Smaller, equal to superior quality, and man it looks and feels so cool.

I have owned a Fuji X-T10 for about three weeks now having moved over from Nikon. Wanted to make the move cautiously, so got the 10 instead of the 1. Last weekend at the camera store I tried out a lens on the X-T1 and know that I will be buying one and wished I had to begin with, but you never know about these things. Should have gone to the camera store first. Ready, fire, aim... Didn't sell the Nikon gear immediately, but now it's all on eBay and will be going to new homes soon. I had moved to Nikon from an Olympus E-5, which I adored and was the perfect size for me. The Nikon D610 seemed a little more updated, but was just enough larger and heavier than the Oly that it wasn't comfortable to lug around, not to mention the weight of the lenses, etc. I had all but stopped shooting. Then a friend got a Fuji X-100T and raved about it. He was also a Nikon shooter, but added the Fuji to his inventory for quick trips and family things. Based on his experience I ordered an X-T10 and two lenses. It was love at first sight! I love using it; it's easy to carry; and it looks great! Not to mention it produces stellar jpgs! Definitely will be adding the X-T1 at some point - maybe when the X-T2 comes out. Hopefully the price of the X-T1 will drop. 

 

In any case, welcome to another former Nikon shooter!
