I started with the XPro, 18mm, 27mm, 18-135. I then got the XT1, 14mm, 35mm, 50mm zeiss touit (for Macro) I now have the 16-55, and the 50mm zeiss for macro I want a Samyang 12mm for when I get annoyed the 16mm isn't quite wide enough I would quite like the 100-400 but not without the XT2 due to the slow focussing of the XT1 There is a big bit of me that wants the new Fuji medium format when it comes instead though

I get early sight of some of the Fuji stuff as I am on the moderation team of the main FujiX-Forum site (http://www.fujix-forum.com) also I know one of the Fuji UK Ambassadors who gets the new kit to test as it goes through the development process. I would steer clear of the GFX for the next year as you will find the next generation of GFX is much much better  and higher resolution.Say no more!

Yeah...that is pretty amazing JK. The longest lens I have is the 50-140 and I have never used it...if I'm looking to use a long lens, it will be nikon with the D500. I feel like fuji is the best street camera ever made (the x100F showed up today and Marianne snagged it to "give" me as a St Pats day present next week) I'll keep my xt1 for the occasional time I need the fold out lcd but mainly use the xp2 or x100series ...certainly for street use...I also have given up totally on neck straps...only a hand strap or nothing on the nikons..what a nice feeling ;  But congratulations on the complete lens kit!!! tom

Nice present Tom. I am very happy with my X100T but still like my older X100 as the controls are so familiar. The XT2 is giving me headaches as Nikon seem to have stopped development as they restructure so I am wondering if now is the time to stop buying camera kit. In truth I have all I need and want and everything else is icing! Better to go places and take pictures.

I had a surprising amount of neck ache at the end of the day with cameras around my neck. The supposed comfort straps just made the neck 'damp'. So I have relied on a simple emergency lanyard around the wrist and handholding. It means I am never tempted to carry telephototo lenses very far, fitted to the camera.

Except for the 80mm macro from Fuji which is due mid-2017. Also there is no bellows for Fuji. I dont do enough macro for it to really worry me but it is nice on occasions to use it. If all my Nikon stuff went then I would get another Fuji XT2 to replace the XT1. I might be tempted with a GFX but like I say not until 2018 but really I dont need it.

I am however bound for WEX at the end of the month, with some Nikon gear and their boxes, to look at the XT2 and other bits.  I did wonder if the XT1 might be a candidate for IR?

ACS or ProTech will do a good conversion for you. I got my XE1 converted to 655nm by Protech. Best conversion for IR but I have another XE1 that I fancy converting to Full Spectrum.

I wont show my Nikon camera and lens list here as Judith will handbag me for not releasing my kit to her and Eric will have a heart attack at such profligate spending in the last 20years!
