Hi All,

I would like some help and opinions here. So i currently have :

Nikon D7100

Sigma 18-35mm 1.8

sigma 50-150mm 2.8

Nikon 10.5mm fish eye 2.8

I do a lot of travel photography, street and portraits. I have had my camera since 2014 but i have heard a lot of good things about the XT2 and picking it up the first time in the shop i loved the weight. But can i trust this brings out better quality images than the d7100 with my sigma art lenses? i was thinking of the:

XT2 with the 18-55 2.8 and

either the 35mm 1.4 or f/2?.

Has anyone switched from a similar set up? Please advise

Thanks

I switched from Nikon(D7000+Sigma 18-35/1.8 art+Sigma 105mm macro) to an X-T2 and some prime lenses and overall I'm very happy with the switch. I absolutely love the dials and Fuji's amazing lenses. Fuji's best primes are at least as good as Sigma's art lenses. They also have the benefit of being made of metal and several of them are weather sealed and have OIS.

The only downside with Fuji I think is their X-trans sensor, but with the appropriate software I still get nice results.
