Just a quick note to all my friends on the Nikon Forum...
I have been a diehard Nikon guy since the late 90's. I started collecting rare manual focus stuff, and have quite a nice collection. My stars are a LNIB 13mm F5.6, LN 10mm OP Fisheye 6mm F5.6, and my Noct.
In the late 90's I bought a Coolpix 990... and never looked back. I became more of gear guy than a shooter which has been a lot of fun, although I do shoot too I have met a ton of GREAT people on these forums.
So recently... a friend of mine bought a Leica Q, and then I did.
Turned out I loved the simplicity of it. A fixed focal length 28mm lens in a mirrorless body. Thought it would be tough to get used to. The small size and portability of it won me over. The EVF and sensor on the Q are very cool... and being a gear guy... I thought about getting a Leica SL. Basically an interchangeable lens mirrorless. Not being completely insane... I rationalized like we all do... "What can I sell to offset this madness?"
So the project began... I honestly looked at what I actually shot with. Most of my pics are in the 24-70 range. I had already sold off some bigger lenses I just never wanted to carry around. 200 F2 (sold for the 105 F1,4), 70-200 (wasn't using), 200-400 (wasn't using).
In the last few weeks... D810, D5, 24-70 VR, 105 1.4, Siggy 24, Siggy 50. More to go... but moving in the right direction
So... I am switching things up a bit for now. For now... this is my new kit. Leica Q, Leica SL +24-90... and a 50mm Noctilux. I shopped around a bit... so I got some good deals... just in case the mood strikes me to switch it up.
It has been very "cathartic"... if any of you guys get my drift. Just wanted to vent a little to you guys...
