Hi all,
I made one other thread about Canon gear and lenses already, but I am having a big internal debate about the best path forward for my camera gear. I shot with Canon for a long time (T2i, 6D, 5D Mark IV). I went through lots of lenses during that time, but at the end I had 16-35f4, 100-400 II, 35f1.4, 50f1.4, 100f2.8 Macro and 135 f1.8. I mainly did landscapes and wildlife (16-35 and 100-400) but I liked the primes for the occasional portraits or attempts at more artistic shots.
I sold the 5D Mark IV and all of those lenses in 2020. For multiple reasons that seemed right at the time. I bought a used Fuji X-T3, a used 16mm f1.4, and a used 56mm f1.2 which I was able to get for a fairly reasonable price. I was looking for something smaller, lighter and fun to use and the Fuji does all of that. There are times where I do like the photos that I get from it, but overall, I just don't like the photos as much as I used to get from my 5D Mark IV with L series lenses. Of course that probably isn't the most fair comparison. I have noticed that with my Fuji it is more of a walk around and fun camera, but not as much of a serious hobby
Recently I have been wanting to get back into photography more as a serious hobby again. Specifically for nature, landscape and wildlife. I have been debating if I should sell my Fuji to move back into Canon's system (get an R6, or maybe an R7 so that I could spend a little bit more on RF lenses?) - or if I should keep the Fuji and spend more to get some lenses more suited for that- find a used 10-24 f4 and get the new 150-600.
I know there is no right answer, but would appreciate any thoughts or opinions from others about something like this. Thanks!
