I have returned to photography after a multi-year hiatus. I've mentioned this. I purchased a used X-M1 and have been pleased as punch.
Last year, as I began to entertain thoughts of hanging out my shingle for photo work and sales of images, I found a better Fuji camera, an X-T1* at a bargain used after much searching (there is an X-T2* and an X-T3* now, so the earlier model is getting cheaper by the day!).
Why? Control. The X-T1* is in the range of Fuji mirrorless cameras that can operate completely manually if you desire, much like the SLRs of old. I am acquiring better lenses and bought a used prime 35mm* lens as well, which is Water Resistant, much like the X-T1.
Last week, I grabbed both cameras as I headed out to take the youngest to school as it was foggy and I knew there'd be some lingering on the drive home. I had the kit lens from the X-M1*, the XC 16-50* on that camera and the 35* on the X-T1*. (I have the underrated XC 50-230*, but I recently broke the mount and am awaiting the part so I can shoot with that again. It is my favorite lens of the 3!) (now fixed, yay!).
So, the images:
