Just joining the Fuji camp having sold my Lumix S1R and some lenses, great camera, great system but in the end I noticed I brought it along less and less due to size and weight. Also, 47mp is just too much in most cases.
Having considered going back m43 and the OM-1 since I want a quick and fast camera again I instead decided on the Fujifilm X-H2S with the 23mm F2 for starters. Awesome combo, I love the small and weather sealed lens. Superb image quality except for at F2 and minimum focusing distance.
A huge benefit of the X-H2S over the OM-1 is the buffer size and speed to clear it.
So far, I've truly enjoyed the experience with the camera and lens, only downside is "lack" of long lenses as compared to m43 but we'll see how I deal with that in the future.
So three images from our Swedish "summer" as it turned out this year.
How much reach do you need? I've been using the Tamron 150-500 lately. Wilbus wrote:

I used the 300mm F4 on m43 which is 600mm in FF terms, I also used it with the 1.4 TC which is 840mm but that's more than I need generally.
But around 600 or thereabouts would be nice for wild life and water sports shot from the shoreline (sailing, wind surfing etc).
Interesting you mention the Tamron 150-500, I was looking at it yesterday and it seems very interesting! Close enough in performance to the 150-600 Fuji according to some tests and about half the price.

I absolutely suck at BIF though. Wilbus wrote:

BIF is a whole other thing I know but it's the general quality of the lens that is interesting and, to be honest, most of what I aim to do is probably not birds but more water sports and I might manage that with the 50-150 F2.8 with some luck.
Up Close, a great feature of the X100V is getting in close and getting an almost macro shot.
3rd time is a charm. Bought a X100V a few years ago, sold it to a friend, ultimately bought it back from him. Then sold it back to him, again. :-) Then no X100V for ~1year. :-( Missed having it, started looking and finally a fellow FM member had a really fair offer I couldn’t pass up. Thanks Jon.
So a couple of quick shots to re-familiarize myself with the controls/setup. This will be my poor man’s Q2 M/Q2. Mostly B&W and a little color.
