Real_JamesCain@housepanther I just recently sold my Sony A6400 and all of its lenses and traded up to a #FujiXT30II. I wanted a more manual camera with intense colors, the ability to play with the film simulations, and interchange lenses. I feel it’s an amazing camera and one I’ve already used more than the A6400. I didn’t intend to buy a telephoto until I was at the park and 5 deer showed up. I have a Sony bridge camera, the #SonyRX10MkIV, which is a great all around. I also have 2 compact cameras I switch & carry, mostly for 4K video or for when I want a picture, I don’t have my gear with me, and I’m against using my phone.
I just bought a new camera (#FujiFilm #FujiXT30II). I have 2 Fuji red band lenses: a 10-24mm (15-35mm full frame equivalent), a 16-55mm (24-82mm full frame equivalent, and a Tamron 150-500mm (225-750mm full frame equivalent). In terms of focal range, I’m covered. The non-telephoto lenses are heavy but not much heavier than my #SonyRX10MkIV.
Everywhere I go, I keep seeing “you should buy a prime”, and I just don’t get it. The only advantages for me I see are: a prime lens would be lighter and would be better in low light.
Since the Fuji is mostly manual, I’m very aware of my set focal length, and I’m not one to just stand in one place as I seek out interesting angles for composition. The zooms and primes are close in price, and if I need more bokeh, there’s always photo editing. I don’t want to carry a mountain backpack everywhere I go, depending on what I’m shooting 2 of the lenses will stay at home at any given time.
