Interesting - I am deffo going to have to visit a store to try these out, so thanks for your post!

Internal zooming is quite a big plus, but the biggest minus is the weight that means it's rarely used.. I'm clearly a wimp.

I missed your earlier post about it's weight, which is what stops me using my Fuji 50-140 most of the time. I may have to read a few reviews but I may very well be swapping over to the Sigma. Edit to add that it would have to have an aperture ring..

We have 1p mobile too. No complaints at all. Saving us loads compared to all the other providers I looked at, so a recommendation from me! Edit to add that we were with bt before and need to be on the EE network as parts of Cornwall are still iffy.

Me too, especially if it's a good bit lighter - my 50-140 doesn't get much use because it's just too heavy to lug around for general use..

Well hurry up and get using it so you can post your findings and feelings about it and the X-E5!

Thank you all for your replies about the X range of cameras - maybe I should try a 23mm lens on my XT-5 first to see how I get on with a prime until I get a chance to go to a dealer..

OK. A question. Over the years I've read (or maybe seen is a better way to say it) so many posts here about the smaller X range and never really taken much in, just haven't understood the appeal of a camera with a fixed lens that's almost as expensive as my XT-5 and don't know what the others...

My history is similar to yours. Not HGV but have ridden bikes all my life, drove trucks for years and learnt basic maintenance and some mechanical sympathy. As you say, people learn how to pass the test, not drive. I spent many hours trying to teach my girls how to park on Sunday afternoons at...

How about teaching people how to drive in the first place, and with regular reassessments over the years? My daughters (22 and 28 years old) both passed their tests many years ago and still cannot drive in my opinion. None of their friends can park or reverse. They've not been involved in any...

And as someone who has had about 20 operations and lives with pain as a result of a very similar accident way back in 1986 (I also lost my business and house, but did meet a nurse who I can't shake off..) I know just how serious these things can be..

Annoyingly I sold my XH2s to get the XT-5 as I wasn't doing any sporty stuff back then and wanted something smaller... I also sold my D500 to get into Fuji..!

Thanks, I kind of imagined that AF might feature - I was amazed a few days ago how many more keepers a friend with a Nikon D500 was getting from a rugby match..

Lots of talk about the upcoming XT-6... So, what do you want from it and what do you think it might have by way of improvements over the XT-5..?

I think Grace Jones sang a never released song about that...
