I have this written on a post-it on my desk for the past 2 months.
3 down, but i can't bring myself to cross it all off.
Perhaps it was a threat to the safety of your existing kit and could prevent a kit disaster which would be hugely expensive....Whilst away last week attempting to do justice of the beauty that is Ullswater my Arca clamp decided not to want let go of the camera (this is a rather cheap adapter on my Manfrotto XPRO Magnessium ballhead (never really got on with the clamp they use) which is sat on a very good Manfrotto 190CX Pro 4 tripod). Being rather bored and seeing Park Cameras we’re having a Manfrotto/ Gitzo weekend, it seemed pretty obvious to spend a little while looking around their Burgess Hill shop.
I came away with series 4 Gitzo tripod and series 3 QD ballhead (not to mention the much lighter trouser pocket). I now need to explain to Mrs. H that my ‘old’ Manfrotto was beyond repair!
How many different systems have you got?I just collected a job lot of 12 assorted lens adapters.
4 different mounts to MFT, & 2 to NEX - all to both lens mounts and bodies I have available.
Another 4 use other mounts I have lenses/adapters for (these will probably be hacked for project parts)
I'm not sure I have a use for the OM-4/3 or the FD-Fuji X adapters, I should no doubt pass them on, but I might find myself tempted to get a Fuji body now!

Ditto with my Nikon system.Just about swap out all of my Sony gear for Fuji.

The allure of Fuji is strong!Ditto with my Nikon system.
Usually I read that DSLR users are switching to mirrorless. Tell us why you are switching back or are going to the Fuji version of medium format?Just about swap out all of my Sony gear for Fuji.

For me, it’s the user experience. Sony is without doubt an amazing camera and system. It just doesn’t have that intangible feel.Usually I read that DSLR users are switching to mirrorless. Tell us why you are switching back or are going to the Fuji version of medium format?
A7iii sigma 24/35/85 ART lensesThat sounds like something from Don Quixote! How much kit will you be trading in?

The 85 is a stunner of a lens. I love it. I’ve been given prices by MPB, but I can put them in the classifieds if their is interestWill any of that be appearing in the classifieds (thinking of the 85 particularly, depending on price)?

Give you my X-H1, 16 1.4 and a 50 F2 for all of that
Add a 56 or a 90 and you’re on!
Nick, I'd love a X-Pro1, or maybe a X-T1. Just about to order these XF lenses,;The allure of Fuji is strong!
which body are you getting Peter?
And it helps a charity. Win - win.Passing a local charity shop for local people today, I spotted a Canon EF 40mm f/2.8 for £18 in the window... Nipped in, had a closer look, perfectly clean. Quick test and it's perfectly functional too. Result. Rear cap is a bit grotty but that's easily (and cheaply) rectified.
Wasn't on the lookout for one nor do I particularly have a need for one but you can't pass up that sort of bargain
