Title says SOLD, doesn't it?

Closing this topic. I purchased a lens today.

Looking for one with good glass in working condition for personal use.

Selling my X100F (USA version) which I purchased used earlier this year. I just got it back from Fuji USA for a cleaning and firmware upgrade. They reset the shutter count from about 5000 to zero.
100% working condition. Cosmetically, one of the corners has a paint chip, rest is perfect.
I'm just not using it enough and can't let it sit around.

Free UPS shipping within USA.

Comes with:
- all original documents, box, manual
- charger
- extra battery
- aluminum thumb grip
- hood
- B+W Haze filter

So is it the good old days or the bad old days?? Did you have to walk uphill both ways to this store, or was that only in wintertime?? :-)

The OP only mentions he needa a camera, but for good portraits he may need to think about everything else that might be needed depending on what he's shooting specifically lighting equipment, backdrops, etc. Camera alone is not always enough

The last shot seems very good. I think you need to use flash with the others. The problem is the bright windows, I think under-exposing with faster shutter/lower ISO and using flash might brighten up the people and reduce the window glare.

My vote is 105mm for FX, especially the 105 F/2.8 AF Macro, excellent double duty lens. Some of my favorite portraits came out of a 105mm F/4 AIS that was older than me.

The 200mm and 300mm lenses mentioned here are all F/5.6 and limited to bright sunlight scenes only if handheld, especially the 300mm, your shutter speed needs to be quite high to freeze the handshake.
It depends what you shoot. If you want to shoot sports or moving kids, these will be useless, you will need a F/2.8 lens.

I used the 50mm 1.8 on a DX camera, I found the focal length to be kind of wierd for DX. 35mm seemed much better for DX sensor.

Sleep and hibernate are two different modes. Hibernate generally means computer is pretty much off, like when the batter is about to die. I think the computers save the RAM contents to the hard drive just before hibernating which allows power to be removed and then restore it when you wake it up.
If lights are on, its most likely sleep mode, not hibernate.

Surprised no one mentioned the Fuji X100T or X100F. Definitely fits in the pocket, although a bit over $1000. I have one, its a great camera, APS sensor, and its Made in Japan.

Just because a lens has zoom doesn't make it multi-purpose.
All depends what you plan on shooting, but in my opinion get a wide prime and a 180 or 200 prime and practice those 2 focal lengths. Those lenses cant cost that much. Im not sure that spending 500 or so on a temporary "universal" lens with slow aperture is wise.

How is a heavy 24-70 2.8 more convenient than say a 28mm prime? I would think for architecture you want something fairly wide and fast in case you go out at night.

Jim, my previous post about the D610 was not any kind of plug, but I have been downsizing all my DSLR stuff (most recently the Zeiss 85 on here) and next in line is my D610 and 180/2.8. If you're interested in a used D610 with about 9k shutters, let me know. Love the camera but can't justify keeping it since I got a X100F recently. It's too much to carry with little kids hanging off my arms.
