Thanks for the thoughtful comments. The grip you linked looks great. I haven't used a camera to its full potential yet (and may never); what I'm really looking for is a system that's comfortable, fun, and capable of fine results. I've had my hands on some Fujis and they seem to fit the bill.


Happy to give a little guidance ! I've been a Fuji user for some time now and, along with comments about size, weight, image quality of these cameras, perhaps the most telling one, and from people in different countries, is "it's simply put the fun back into photography for me". Meaningful, I feel .......

That's exactly the problem I have with my RX100iii! I can do most anything I want to with it, but it's not quick or intuitive or fun except in a point-and-shoot mindset.


Me too, I like my lil Sony but it is brain dead and absolutely no fun. However, it does the trick when size matters! My Fuji gear is not only absolutely superb with people shots, but is FUN!!!

Good luck with your decision-making Aloha Bob!!!

Cheers!

I recently bought the 50-140 lens in order to have what my research told me was the ideal lens for photographing mountain gorillas in Uganda's Bwindi Impenetrable Forest in which the lighting is dim. I figured I could also use it for taking portraits as a replacement for the Nikon 70-200 f/2.8 which truly deserves being described as a "huge, heavy lens." So compared to the Nikon it is not huge and heavy, but compared to the 18-135, the lens I use on trips along with a Rokinon 12mm, it is big and heavy. It is true that the 50-140 appears to focus a little faster and is a little more sharp than the 18-135. I don't know what it is, but my first impression is that it takes technically extraordinarily sharp and bright photos. But I could never justify hauling it around on a trip (except for the Uganda trip which promises to be a once in a lifetime memorable experience according to those who have done it). Since this trip will be combined with a safari in Tanzania, I will probably rent the 100-400 Fuji to bring along as well.

The 100-400 is a fantastic lens, considering the trip to Uganda I'd definitely rent it.
