Sorry, I am not getting it. You don’t think I actually own a full line up of Fuji GFX equipment? 🤣

Here is the list:
- 100s
- 100II
- 20-35mm f4
- 45-100mm f4
- 45mm f2.8
- 50mm f3.5
- 55mm f1.7
- 110mm f2.0
- 120mm f4
- 250mm f4

I haven’t done the math but it should be in that ball park. And even if it’s a bit off who cares. I was hoping you’d understand the intent… Apparently I was being too generous. 🤣

Cheers,
Bernard



Obviously, judging from the results I have seen from the Fuji body, you don't have a clue how to setup your equipment. Your equipment must suffer from user error.



Go onto Bernard’s website and I think you’ll have a different view. His work is fantastic and it spans many different genres.


I'm surprised to learn he even takes photos... he seems to spend every waking hour obsessively trolling the non-Nikon forums.


Do you consider the question of the OP to be trolling?

He has asked for inputs about his concerns with the state of affairs with Canon. I have offered inputs based on my first hand experience with other systems. This is what this thread is about, isn't it?

I don't care about brands. That's why I actively use 4 brands in parallel at the moment and recommended 3 of them for different use cases in this very thread. I do not use Canon for the simple reason that I don't find the value proposition appealing for what I do, or should I say, superior to the equipment I am currently using. The impossibility of cross using lenses also makes it just too costly.

Still, an R1 with the rumored specs would have gotten me very interested. I don't think I could have afforded one, but I would have looked very carefully. The R1 that Canon announced disappointed me relative to what had been rumored. No doubt it's nonetheless a superb tool that will enable many photographers to achieve their vision. But this is not the question the OP asked.

Some nice nature images on your Instagram and Flickr pages. Based on the images you posted it appears you worked with Nikon only for about one month in March 2024 with a Z7II and 400mm 4.5 and Z8 and 180-600mm (one of you best images, amazing bokeh)? Before that you used Sony, Panasonic, Olympus, Fuji, Canon and very recently Sony again with an a7rV? Is that about right? I am surprised you find time to take photographs at all with all the buying and selling going on. Why did you buy Sony since you were perfectly happy with your R5? Is it about the 200-600mm?

I quickly checked the focal length used in your photos on Flickr, and you always seen to be at the very end of the zoom range for your bird images. You appear to be using zooms as primes. Why not invest once for all in 600mm f4 or 800mm f5.6?

I was surprised not to find any photographs of birds in flight, except ospreys in static flight. Not something you are interested in?

Btw I had the chance to drink an excellent bottle from BC recently. A Merlot from Oakanagan valley I think it was. Just wonderful!

Cheers,
Bernard

Go onto Bernard’s website and I think you’ll have a different view. His work is fantastic and it spans many different genres.


I'm surprised to learn he even takes photos... he seems to spend every waking hour obsessively trolling the non-Nikon forums.


Do you consider the question of the OP to be trolling?

He has asked for inputs about his concerns with the state of affairs with Canon. I have offered inputs based on my first hand experience with other systems. This is what this thread is about, isn't it?

You don't even seem to realize that you associating this with "trolling" only reveals your own perception about brands.

I don't care about brands. That's why I actively use 4 brands in parallel at the moment. Not Canon for the simple reason that I don't find the value proposition appealing for what I do, or should I say, superior to the equipment I am currently using. The impossibility of cross using lenses also makes it just too costly.

Still, an R1 with the rumored specs would have gotten me very interested. I don't think I could have afforded one, but I would have looked very carefully. The R1 that Canon announced disappointed me relative to what had been rumored. No doubt it's nonetheless a superb tool that will enable many photographers to achieve their vision. But this is not the question the OP asked.

Some nice nature images on your Instagram and Flickr pages. Based on the images you posted it appears you worked with Nikon only for about one month in March 2024 with a Z7II and 400mm 4.5 and Z8 and 180-600mm (one of you best images, amazing bokeh)? Before that you used Panasonic, Olympus, Fuji, Canon and very recently Sony? Is that about right? I am surprised you find time to take photographs at all with all the buying and selling going on.

Cheers,
Bernard

Sorry, I am not getting it. You don’t think I actually own a full line up of Fuji GFX equipment? 🤣

Here is the list:
- 100s
- 100II
- 20-35mm f4
- 45-100mm f4
- 45mm f2.8
- 50mm f3.5
- 55mm f1.7
- 110mm f2.0
- 120mm f4
- 250mm f4

I haven’t done the math but it should be in that ball park. And even if it’s a bit off who cares. I was hoping you’d understand the intent… Apparently I was being too generous. 🤣

Cheers,
Bernard



Obviously, judging from the results I have seen from the Fuji body, you don't have a clue how to setup your equipment. Your equipment must suffer from user error.

I apologize, I don't have knowledge of the work you do but would of course be interested in you have a link to some photographs. Mines are easy to find, just click on the 2 little icons below my name. But I think you knew that very well.
