[QUOTE="everprentice, post: 429995, member: 19874"] I see, a Fuji user here. My whole post talks about why I didn't jump to mirrorless just yet. I have owned many lenses MF to AF, and different bodies to know what I need and what I want. 19 lenses are a lot if you purchase them all but focal length and aperture are not the only things to consider when purchasing a lens. MF is fun but only when you have time and an extra hand. Also, the number of lenses are just part of choosing a system. M43 has so much more choices too. What if Nikon comes up with a game changer and I get to use the F-mount for the system? Next is weight. The weight of an XT-1 is as close to an A7. If weight is the criterion, I would rather go with the FF A7. There is so much to gain from a 30g difference. Again, I am just sharing my own method of thinking here. I also have mentioned I will keep an FX, DX and get a mirrorless in the future. So why would I go with the APS-c Fuji (at this point in time), if I will keep my APS-c pro body? The biggest thing I've learned from jumping into the Nikon F system? Once you're down to one system you get no choice but stick with it. Manufacturers catch up with the newest tech. There is no sense jumping into another system when they come up with a better camera or a better lens. [/QUOTE]
