@itdm5j21 @tomnorthfilm I have owned a number of Fujifilm primes and zoom lenses, but I've been increasingly switching to third party brands like Viltrox and Sigma. The Viltrox "Pro" series lenses are particularly good. Some absolutely rival Fujifilm's own glass at a fraction of the price.

@analogfusion @itdm5j21 This is a "me thing". I always buy the original camera manufacturer's lenses. I'm weird that way. That's one of the things that keeps me away from a Leica. I'd have to have Leica glass on it.

@analogfusion @tomnorthfilm I have managed to buy 'As New' examples of Fujifilm lenses, so haven't felt the need to venture off brand yet, though if something really piqued my interest... 🧲

@analogfusion @tomnorthfilm On a slightly different note... What SD cards do you use? I use a Lexar Silver Pro 64Gb SDXC II 280/130Mb in slot 1 [RAW] & SanDisk Extreme 64Gb SD I 170Mb in slot 2 [JPG]. And a back up for each of those for my X-T2. Given the X-T5s much bigger sensor and thus file sizes, would those SD Cards suffice or would new bigger/faster cards be in order?
