"nice to use all those gorgeous Nikkor lenses on the S5"

The huge disappointment with the X series cameras is the lack of close focusing zooms and long focal length macros.  Having just moved from Olympus to Fuji X-T1 to get a much better handling camera, I really miss the FF equivalent 1:2 pro grade zooms vs the pathetic close focusing of the Fiji equivalents.

Hence I've considered returning  to the the S5:

  • Nikon 70-200 f/4 with 1.4TC
  • Sigma macros: 180 f/3.5, 300 f/4 
  • Tamron 150-600 G2 with 1.4TC though I doubt whether the S5 AF sensor is up to dealing with the setup
