[QUOTE="Eduard, post: 690452, member: 986"] I purchased a used Fuji X-T1 for a great price "to try" when I was shooting a D800E with the Tamron 24-70/2.8 and Tamron 70-210/2.8 as my main kit. I didn't expect to fall in love with the Fuji controls, size and IQ. I will say that if the Nikon Z6 / Z7 was out 4 years ago, I would have seriously considered staying with Nikon. The body size of the Nikon Z and Fuji X-T bodies aren't that different. However, the full frame lenses are significantly heavier and expensive than Fuji's APS-C/DX versions. I fully moved to Fuji and am now using the X-T3. My wife has moved from the J5 to a X-T20. Marcel's advice for a lens trinity is spot-on in my opinion. I have been using the same XF 10-24mm, XF 18-55mm and XF 55-200mm lenses starting with a X-T1 for about a year and a half, then 2.5 years with a X-T2 and now with my X-T3. As Marcel states, the Fuji glass is just excellent. The "kit" 18-55mm lens is my most used lens. I really can't think of a reason to replace it. Why do I point the lenses out? Size. Check out this picture that my wife took a couple years ago at Plitviče Lakes in Croatia. I'm carrying [U]all[/U] [U]three[/U] [U]lenses[/U] in a ThinkTank Mirrorless Mover 25i. (You can see the images from this amazing location [URL="https://goo.gl/photos/Wm7WJ54yvzhVTQrR8"]here[/URL].) [ATTACH=CONFIG]303991._xfImport[/ATTACH] That bag looks small, right? Here is an image of the Mirrorless Mover 25i with all three lenses. (This is the X-T1.) [ATTACH=CONFIG]303992._xfImport[/ATTACH] Now here is the surprise. This is an image and list of what is loaded in the bag: [ATTACH=CONFIG]303993._xfImport[/ATTACH] [LIST] [*]Fujifilm X-T1 with the MHG-XT hand grip installed [I](I now have the X-T3 and hand grip)[/I] [*]XF 18-55mm f/2.8-4 R LM OIS lens (mounted) [*]XF 10-24mm f/4 R OIS lens [*]XF 55-200mm f/3.5-4.8 R LM OIS lens [*]EF-X8 Flash [*]MCEX-16 Macro Extension Tube [*]3 NP-W126 Li-ion batteries [*]Spare memory card [*]Filter wallet with 4 filters [*]Lens Pen [*]Small flashlight [*]Rain hood [*]Nikonites lens cloth [/LIST] Bottom line, for me, the Fuji X-T bodies have re-energized my photography.
