I think I am done now for camera gear - 27mm; 18-55mm & 50-230mm is absolutely fine for what I want to photograph the majority of the time. I will probably will upgrade the X-T20 to the X-E4 when the second hand prices come down; and then paired with the 27mm should turn the GAS down quite a bit.
I am *really* tempted (or I would be if I had the available cash) to get a Ricoh GR or a Sony RX just for the sheer portability. But I think I'd miss the dials etc and it feels like the X-E4 will hit the sweet spot for everything. Or thats what I'm telling myself! Thankfully the price of the X100VI is so out of reality for me (both in principle and financially) that its not even registering as a possibility.
Mine says 'Pitch Shifter' on it as well so I think Harmoniser is likely to be the prototype? Really want to ask how that Wombtone and Spectre sound but should probably keep pedal chat to a minimum...
Less choice is good - honestly ......................................
I'm giving serious thought to reducing my kit further as I know I'm a better photography when I work with one camera one lens
X-M1 is fine until the sun comes out then you can't see the rear screen for toffee, and with no viewfinder, composition involves a lot of praying to the Gods! In all reality its not a whole lot smaller than your X-T20 and you've got the added advantage of a viewfinder!
Where's mine!The 6 is out for delivery....
Nothing wrong with one bodyI’m definitely going to try to stick to one body! Really impressed with the 50-230mm; the XC lenses are great value. Even considering ditching the 18-55mm for the 15-45mm but a bit scared of the motor zooom!
Photography is a hobby for me and I am fortunate enough to have several bodies to play with (20 at last count) admittedly I am paranod with digital and won't change a lens in the field unless I absolutley have to. To that end I will usually on any outing have 3 bodies (all the same) one with a wide lens (or wide zoom) one with a standard lens (or standard zoom) and one with a long lens (or long zoom).I've only ever had a single camera (other than between selling). Could never see the point, for what I shoot.
Admittedly I do have a bunch of lenses though
And the GFX and the Bronica.............Nothing wrong with one body

The only time I go out with only one body is when I am out on a motorcycle ride then I only take my X100T in a small belt pouch but very rarely stop to take photos.

The left hand pouch has the camera etc the right hand pouch has bike related gubbins in it.

But you can get adaptersOne fixed lens camera is all you need
I have 3 Bronicas but only 2 GFXs but tbh I very rarely use anything on the GFXs other than the mounted 20-35 and 32-64 although I do carry the 100-200 for the very odd occasion I will use it in the landscape (not a big fan of those long lens "intimate" landscape shots that seem to be popular these days.And the GFX and the Bronica.............
No mate, all my gear is old stuff.Damn that's a lot of bodywork. You're not @trevorbray in disguise are you

That would be the day I saw a shot........Agree, I take the gear but just don't 'see' these shots - I have wide angle eyes - should leave a home really and save the bag weight!
That would be the day I saw a shot........
True but I am afflicted. TBH if the long end of my 32-64 were more like 90mm or even 80mm I could just use that and keep the 100-200 for planned shoots where I need the reach, or crop the 90mm shot........FOMO is a bad trait.............

If I didn`t have the 80mm, I`d jump at it. I know they`re different beasts, but rarely take people shots, and the 80 will cover if I want longer than the 56.Hi guys anyone in here after a 90mm f2 I’ve one for sale in the forums
Generally speaking I need to be limited in order to get the most out of a hobby. I went through a dark phase with music where I acquired a lot of gear but never made anything. Selling it all and taking a break was the best thing I did!
So in the spirit of that, trying to limit myself to one reasonably sized body and no more than 5 lenses (tbh the 3 I have will do; but I'm interested in some vintage with a converter) is my aim. One of the reasons for pursuing an X-E4 is to further that limitation; however I still have doubts about that. I should probably stick with the X-T20 body type. Seems like the best of most worlds.
I had two bodies for a while when I bought the used X-T1 last year, and I didn't like it at all. I had proper option paralysis of "Which one shall I take with me?" most of the time. Plus I found that I preferred the larger form factor of the X-T1 but enjoyed the newer features (and film sims) of the X-T30... but then I couldn't use that in the rain. Trading them both in and getting the X-T4 solved all of that for me

I’ve had many cameras and lenses over the years and always start off with the best intentions before the little red fella perches on my shoulder and starts whispering
I promised myself that with my x-t20 I’d just have one lens. Then I bought 2 at once so I think that counts as a single, right ? Except then I bought 3 more. But now I sold one.
But I really miss an articulating screen and ibis so the x-s10 intrigues me as it’s small-ish so should still be a travel set up…. May be ?
When I got my first Fuji (X-Pro1 and still have it) there was only the 18, 35 & 60 which I got but as they came available I got 14, 23 (f1.4) and 56 (still have the 23).When I got my first Fuji I promised myself I only stick to 23/35/56 so I have the equivalent of 35/50/85 (ish) focal length as that is my most commonly used focal length.
10 years later I am still sticking to it! Albeit came close getting a 16/1.4 last year and the little devil on my shoulder is now whispering Viltrox 27/1.2…..
That Viltrox 27mm looks good but the size and weight puts me offWhen I got my first Fuji I promised myself I only stick to 23/35/56 so I have the equivalent of 35/50/85 (ish) focal length as that is my most commonly used focal length.

I pre ordered my black X100VI on the 21/02 with WEX and its still not been dispatched... regretting not going with silver nowThanks Trevor - I’ve missed having a camera
Ordered 20/03, dispatched 04/04 so no not considering what I’d read online about July.
Appreciate the comments - I will take them onboard.
