Is the X-T30 the end of the line?

Re: Is the X-T30 the end of the line?

If you read through my replies, you'll see I picked them because they were the lightest lenses, and just added the price column as well as I was already looking at the specs.

Sony doesn't offer a light and slow 20/21, or a 75 at all. Sony has many holes in its line-up in both FF and APS-C that it seems to be happy with letting 3rd party fill. It's one of the main reasons I shoot fuji, lots of native high iq glass. And I do think that Fuji native fujicrons are likely better, however, not sure if the sensor size jump would make up for it.

While Sony does offer an 85mm in its 85mm 1.8, Fuji's 85 equivalent, the 56 1.2 or apd, is also both heavier and more expensive as well. So it wouldn't have made a difference if I had gone with an equiv lens that way either.

On the other hand, there are no fuji 3rd party AF lenses that are lighter than fuji's own lenses, but Sony has many. Hence why they weren't picked.

My objective was to see if I could make a light comparable FF prime setup, based around the A7C, vs Fuji's lightest current body and lenses in the XE4.
