I am less of an active shooter nowadays and I very seldom take pictures at home so my building an M lens collection has been an anxiety ridden experience as I normally have a philosophy of \"if you are not using it you should not own it\". Not using my gear enough to validate my possession of said items is something that keeps me spending too much time thinking about it.
There is still that flickering hope that some day I will snap back into photography for real and start using the gear more than intermittently. I have a solid admiration for many of you forum members that manage to keep that spark in your interest and many of your images really inspire me to get back into photography. It\'s just that I\'ve lost the interest of my immediate surroundings back home, where I have been shooting for decades.
My worst case scenario is also my best case scenario in a way:
If the Fuji is a true stand alone mini system and not compatible with adapted lenses I can see it as my traveling camera solution: a limited set up of lenses, no sweating which lenses to bring and which to leave behind. Get the three lenses and bring them all. If it is closet camping in between trips the investment is not more than I can bear having tied up in gear that I don\'t use.
This scenario will take me one step back but perhaps more accurately depicted as a side step: ditching the prime glass that I only use a few times a year, yet still competing for attention when it comes down to packing up the bag for the trip in favor of a less complete yet potent little set up.
I never thought I\'d end up a lens collector instead of a lens user.
Last but not least:
let\'s not forget Fuji\'s competition just yet, the year has just started.
