Nice Monte! you'll love it It's the lens on my camera the most

 

What I asked for for mine haha

Thanks man! I'm stoked. It'll probably live on it for a long time. Haha now I need to see if my 18-135 can get fixed.

 

Yea it's smaller then I remember when I shot Marc's. But I guess after using mikes 10-22 I was expecting I to be bigger.

Really nothing longer huh?

 

Not even your 18-55 for some variety?

 

Probably not. But not like you don't get good stuff with it. And it'll fill a big gap between the two..

 

Yea I'm excited to shoot with it.

 

Any Nikon DX guys want a 10-24? Ha I can't seem to move this thing!

 

I'm surprised! That's a great lens.

 

Well I haven't pushed it too hard ha but I have put it up on here, facebook, craigslist, etc a few times with no takers. Yet.

 

Wow. I really am surprised. I sold mine with a quick call I wasn't expecting

I did find you this tho.

Oh. It's $70K...

 

Haha what is that! It dwarfs the d4

 

A very expensive lens that hasn't been made in years. You will actually get your feet in the picture holding it horizontal.

 

I shouldn't be allowed on this thread right now... To much camera porn. Not enough money.

 

It's pretty crazy. I would be deathly afraid of scratching the lens just putting the cover on.

 

No I didnt. Sounds like a great prime to have though. I'll have to see how much it is. I looked at the 20mm briefly

Good god

 

So, I've been thinking about buying a mirrorless camera lately. One of our local photographers recently got a Fuji X-T1 and the images coming from that camera are making me drool. I don't want to spend $2k on another camera (have a D90 now), so I was looking at the Fuji X-M1. Looks like you can get the X-M1 with a kit lens for around $600. Anybody have experience with these?

I am taking a trip to Colorado in January to go skiing. Would the X-M1 stand up to the cold?

I used to be really into photography, but other hobbies (fishing and music) have edged it out. I think if I had a smaller and lighter camera (mirrorless), that I would be more likely to carry it around, because I don't really take my D90 with me anywhere.

 

Haven't posted or shot in a long time Here's a few from our recent trip to Florida.

X-M1 is great, just keep in mind it does not have a viewfinder. If I were you I would look for a used Fuji X-E2. A little better featured and has a nice viewfinder. Their main bodies are rated down to 0 i believe while the X-T1 is at -20 or something like that. Either way, I've never had a camera of any kind crap out because of cold, but the batteries drain super fast in cold. Get a few spares for the trip if you won't be near a charger every night. ha

Fujifilm X100S, 23mm(35 equiv.), f/2.8, 1/125th, ISO 2000. PP in LR5.

 

Yeah, the lack of a viewfinder concerns me about the X-M1. Is the E2 much bigger than the M1? I would guess that is it still way smaller/lighter than a D90. Seems like the kit lens with the E2 is better as well, it opens up to f/2.8, the lens that comes with the M1 only goes to f/3.5.
