Playing some catchup here, Nice to see all the great shots and the explosion of flowers. I've been uninspired lately, just getting tired of the last 6+ months of lockdown in Toronto, and the city has clearcut my favourite section along the river in preparation for a major closure as part of a project returning the area to a more natural flow that will have it closed for a year I am teetering on the edge of buying the x100V and selling My X100T and XE3 to pay for it ,..... I will need to find a different walk close to home to use it ( at least with spring here there are more people out - good and bad i guess since we have had a hard time with Covid recently to the level of needing a field hospital to add beds staffed by the army to deal with the ICU overflow that is stable enough to be in recovery space
Hopefully, as the vaccine rate increases and numbers come down we can start opening again in June, I do have a post-processing backlog so should get some done this weekend

Meanwhile here is one from a night walk with the GFX50r and the GF45-100 f4

Unless you really need the compactness, an X-E3 plus 23/2 will probably serve you better than an X-100V, and you can change the lens.

I hear you about the inspiration. I've photographed little other than flowers and street scenes near my home for months now. Most restrictions here are now lifted but the kids and household tasks while I'm on paternity leave keep almost all my time occupied. I did get out for an hour on my own (!!!!) yesterday afternoon with the K-3 and 20-40mm Limited - no great photographs but it was so relaxing and enjoyable.

X-T20 and 23/2 from Sunday

I have an xe3 , and an older x100. I love the x100 form and function and the v has the xe4 xpro3 xt4 sensor. Also it is wr

I will be selling off the xe3 and the x100t to pay for the x100v . I still have the xpro2 and xh1 for interchangeable (and the gfx50r)

the two things that drew me to Fuji were the sheer number of adapters available for the X-mount - this is after my K-S1 experiment ended - and the amazing jpegs coming out of the cameras.....

What was your K-S1 experiment?

[pepperberry farm]

What was your K-S1 experiment?

nearly a year ago (time flies), I acquired a K-S1 and an Adaptist PK+MM mount to try out:

Adaptist PK+MM installation and usage - PentaxForums.com

K-S1 with Adaptist mount | Flickr

not so much as a failed experiment, but it did lead me to move into the Fuji sphere..

Do you have a paid flickr account and would you recommend it?

Fuji X-H1 with Tokina 100-300/F4.....@300mm. This lens I believe is a bit smoother and maybe a tad sharper than the Pentax A 400mm/5.6 and obviously allows you to zoom from 100-300. Nice for Train shots and sharp for bird shots as long as you don't need farther than 300mm.

All in all not bad for $87 dollars purchased from Roberts Cameras. Makes me hold off on getting the new Fuji 70-300mm @$799.

I do have a paid flickr account and if you are looking to keep images available pretty much anywhere you are...

it's worth it, especially in comparison to other sires available..
