I bought an X-T5 for making art. I added an XC35 f2 to my old X-T20 to make JPEGs with no intent to edit. Make photos, share photos. I love shooting like that sometimes.

A nice shot, I like the contrast which works here, however, I'll play devils advocate, and I'm not being facetious, but how does your X-T5 enable you to 'make art' any more than than your X-T20?

Fair question. Functionally there's no difference. The main reason for using the X-T5 is wanting to make 40x60 prints. I've made 20x30 prints with my X-T20 and they've been great. I sent a file to my print lab to prints an 8x10 segment for a 40x60 out of the X-T20 and felt like it was starting to fall apart a bit. It would likely be fine from a reasonable distance for viewing a print that size but I like people to be able to walk up and look at smaller details that I've taken the time to bring attention too. I do a lot of high contrast, black and white architecture and some light painted still life. While I want the image to be appreciated in it's entirety, I also want the details to hold up on closer inspection as I've encouraged people to look at them using light.

That makes sense, if you're going large that's totally understandable.
