The thing is that I wanted to try something a different again. The lenses from Fujifilm are amazing and always have been, we have a roadmap of what’s coming for a while unless they spring any surprises on us we know what is coming! What is there to say about the lenses from Fujifilm now – they haven’t made a bad one yet, even the cheapo “XC” lenses are really damn good! The only thing to choose between them is if you want OIS, and what focal length you want – you really can’t pick a bad lens from the Fujifilm line-up! That’s great and it genuinely is an amazing system that Fujifilm have built. I have a feeling the X-Pro2 will address that, but until then we have to wait. Camera hardware has kind of stalled at the X-E2, yes firmware has made it quicker but we’ve not had anything all that interestingly different for me personally to get all that excited about. If I’m perfectly frank, aside from lenses, Fujifilm haven’t released anything in quite a while now that has really pushed my buttons like the original X100 and the X-Pro1 did. Part of the fun of photography for me is the geeky tech side of things and trying stuff out. I know them intimately, and I enjoy shooting with them.
I have dabbled with other cameras, but nothing has stuck for my day-to-day shooting. I’ve been using the Fujifilm X-Series almost exclusively now for around 4 years, ever since the X-Pro1 came out.
