Help me spend $6k
I’ve been eyeing the GFX system and could use some advice getting into it.
I keep going back and forth between 50 vs 100 and also don’t know where to start in terms of lenses.
What would you recommend for a body and 1-2 lenses to start in the GFX system? Ideally the total is ~6k or less.
I like to shoot casual pictures of family and friends at 35mm. Portraits with context. Also do landscape photography but that’s only a few times a year.
[Edit] Why am I choosing GFX?
- I currently have XT-5 and am very happy with the Fuji ecosystem overall (color profiles, manual control)
- APSC works great for me, and I could probably shoot the rest of my life just of APSC, however:
- When I've gone to national parks and captured landscape images, I've found the APSC sensor too limiting. Not enough detail is captured, and I'm not able to print even medium sized photos
- For portraits, APSC is great, but there are some special family photos I've captured where I would love to have that extra dimension of depth and clarity so that the photos and memories have more of the "magic"
- Given I'm hitting the limitations of APSC, I could either try FF or medium format. I've decided that I should skip FF and to go medium format, and given my joy with the Fuji ecosystem. I am led to GFX!
