Nikkor, especially FF Nikkor glass. Though I have to admit some of the
latest
top end Fuji glass is not exactly inexpensive.

We'll all have to stop raving about how good it is!

Aah! You pulled the trigger on the X-T3. The performance improvement over
the
X-T2 is quite amazing. Enjoy.

BTW; I had to treat mine to some new glass so I bought a used XF16-55mm
f/2.8, so with my other Fuji glass I have a set up which is every bit a
match
for the FF cameras from Nikon, Canon, and Sony at a massive discount.

I shall get the 100-400 in the spring. I was a bit disappointed that
using the cheap XC 50-230 at full stretch the autofocus wasn't quite
getting it right. This wasn't high speed stuff at all. But obviously I
do need to practice and explore all the (many) options more carefully. I
am also looking forward to trying the video with the advantage of an
external mike socket. I currently use a Tascam recorder for main audio
with a static Canon video camera, and the Fuji XE-1 to do "infill"
clips, all manually synchronised. (This is recording live music, but
with a bluetooth feed off the desk to the Tascam).

I'm certainly tempted by the 16-55 too.


I bought the 100-400mm back when the sales season started in September, and
it does a great job.

This was with the X-T2 before the X-T3 was delivered.

Back when I first bought my X-E2 I had considered the XC50-230mm, but bought
the 55-200mm with a $200 discount some 2 years ago, and I am very pleased
with what that has delivered.

Also an X-T2 shot.
