Leica Q - Typ 116 |
- The Leica Q is the main camera.
- The Fuji X-T2 complements with lenses what the Q is not. It is also my travel camera.
- The Fuji X-T10 have with me at all times camera with very light lenses
- The Nikon D5500 continues with the same role as the IR Camera.
- The Nikon D750 is now the specialty role camera.
The Leica Q with its 28mm (24MP) Summilux lens that can crop to 35mm (15MP) and 50mm (8MP) is the workhorse. It is a prime that acts as a pseudo zoom lens. Therefore, the X-T2 will complement the Q with zooms and primes:
Zoom Lenses
Fujinon XC 16-50mm f/3.5-5.6 OIS II
Fujinon XF 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 R LM OIS WR
Prime Lenses
Fujinon XF 16mm f/1.4 R WR
Fujinon XF 23mm f/1.4 R
Fujinon XF 35mm f/1.4 R
Fujinon XF 23mm f/1.4 R
Fujinon XF 35mm f/1.4 R
The 10-24 and 18-135 are obvious; they do not need an explanation. The primes are the focal length I do not have with the Q with the exception of the Fuji 23mm. If the T2 will be my travel camera, then the 23mm (35mm in FF format) is a crucial length.
The T2 will be a pleasure to shoot with the very light "pancake lenses." The T2 weights 1.1 lbs. with battery and SD card. The Fuji 18mm f/2 weights 4.1 oz and the Fuji 27mm f/2.8 weights 2.75 oz.The T2 is like having the very much thought of Fuji X-100T with the added advantage that the T10 is not a fixed lens camera.

Zoom Lenses

Nikkor AF-S DX 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR II
Nikkor AI-S 70-210mm f/4.5-5.6
I can always use the primes with the D750. That camera was always a delight to shoot wth light lenses.
The Nikon D750 has become my multi-purpose role camera. It will be my:
