Yeah I come from a background of adventure photography. So ‘journalism style’ in remote locations for weeks on end (Mongolia for example). A light kit that could be used in the dark with gloves (no fiddling in menu’s and loosing your night vision) was key. Fuji was/is great for that imho.

It then shifted more to extreme sports. Despite the af limits on the xt2 I made it work. Also because I could bring my kit to places I wouldn’t have brought my dslr.

Now trying more and more architecture. And fuji doesn’t shine there. Purely for the lack of the TS.

Might pick up a Canon D5 III or something and a TS lens. Pretty sure that will do. Need to think ahead though also on flash triggers and the likes. Sigh.

Thnx for the help!

No worries. We seem to have followed related paths. I have always hiked and trekked, and still do. Add a little caving, climbing and kayaking. And in doing those you travel, and travel often involves architecture.... And then I worked as a photographer for a couple of years often doing architectural images. Had the view camera, the whole bit. All a long time ago, and now I'm back to the lightest possible kit for hiking. But beware, movements get under your skin..... once you've used movements it always feels like there's something missing without them.

It's good fun though to keep changing the type of photography we do. There's always overlap and you might approach things differently after having shot a completely different genre for some time. Shooting a couple of weddings really helped my sports photography for example. As strange as that may sound
You never stop learning!
