Hi all

[Skells]

I'm Steve, back again for some research before taking the plunge!

I say back again as I was on here before. My first interchangeable lens camera was the X-T1, nearly 10 years ago, which I had and loved for years.  Then I switched to Canon, at the time I was craving Canon colours.

And now I find myself craving Fuji colours again! particularly with (as I only recently learned) the ability to use recipes and tweak colours and other look-n-feel aspects in-camera.

It'll be a substantial move for me, as built up a fair bit of Canon gear over the last few years, but I want a much more pared down set-up (weight, size, amount of gear), and I know I love Fuji cams.

My only potential reservation is missing all that f/1.2 on full frame can bring!  Though I know the Fuji pro wide glass enjoys a great reputation!

Anyways, I'll be lurking and researching, just to verify that I'll be making the right move for me.

Cheers all.

Steve

Welcome back, Steve!

Thanks, Olaf!

I've made the decision, got all my Canon boxes down from the loft, to get my gear ready to sell!

V excited to rejoin the Fuji family 😊

I too am back to Fuji X-H2S and GFX100S. Left for Hassie but many months after ordering the 3 new lenses I only had the 38V, so I gave up on them. The thinking behind it was if they are so like this with new orders what the heck will they be like for service or repair. Fuji I could walk in the shop and buy everything with 1 or 2 days notice. What's more I am very happy with both cameras and the lenses I chose. I hope I have killed GAS stone-dead.

Ha! Yes I feel the same in that way. I bought way too much Canon kit, not using 80-90% of it!
This time I will be getting the X-T5 and an XF23 f1.4 to start with! I'll likely 'need' at least a couple more primes over time, but I'll start with just the one!

Yes I bought the 100S with the 50mm 'pancake' lens, then the 30 and later the 80mm.

The H2S started with 33/56 and then 56mm then 50-140 +1.4.
