I use the Fujifilm X-Series as my camera system, having switched from Micro Four Thirds in 2023.
This was a camera that I considered aspirational when I started photography in 2022, so I feel lucky to own one now. The 40MP sensor and IBIS provide great image quality, in a relatively compact package. It's quite feature-rich for the size, and a joy to use.
I gravitate to 50mm (FF equivalent) primes, and this one is stellar. I was using the 35mm f/1.4 R, which I loved. However, I upgraded to this lens because of the weather-sealing. I was initially concerned about its size, but in practice I've found it to be small enough for all-day use.
Mostly used for travel, this lens is excellent in its role. Being lightweight, compact and weather-resistant, it can tackle many scenarios without getting in the way. My only criticism is that the aperture dims quite quickly, which doesn't suit my preference of shooting at longer focal lengths.
I rented this lens for a couple of days before purchasing and was instantly sold on it. It's lightweight, reasonably compact and rugged, but provides a versatile focal range of 105-450 FF equivalent. Great for long-distance landscape, travel and some wildlife. Forms a great pairing with the 16-50.
A great compact camera. I keep it in a leather case and just throw it in my backpack or sling when I'm not taking my full set-up. The autofocus isn't fast but it does work (unlike my old Ricoh GR2), the flash is great for that stark, 'retro' look and the image quality still holds up today.
