      It's all personal preference, but for a long time now I've preferred shooting with prime lenses over zoom. As for if 35mm or whatever, it just depends on how you see scenes most often. I used to be a big fan of 35mm but now it's one of my least favorites, always feeling not wide enough or too wide. I guess that's why a lot of people like it as a single lense kit.

      Certainly though, that camera and lense will be an amazing starting kit for someone new to photography, but you could also go much simpler/lower cost to start like one of the older x100s.

        @Jett129 Thanks a lot Jett. Because of the light/shadow situation I preferred b/w , but I have to admit, that most of my portraits are in b/w

              When I was in Arches National Park this guy pulls into the parking lot,in a van,takes two big ass parrots out and lets this one go. If I didn't take a picture you never would've believed me.

                      I was sitting on the couch, drinking my morning coffee. It was just there.

                        @SFMCfranky Sometimes that's how some of the best shots happen,but you did have the presence of mind to pick up your phone and take the shot. I'm a strong believer in the old adage "You miss 100% of the shots you don't take"

                            @weftyarn There’s a group on Facebook called Minimalist Photography. I think they’d love that shot, as do I.

                                @AllAhoo so sorry I’ve been away, but you said if. Got great use of it on the trip, too! Here’s a handful of shots from the Great Ocean Road. Shot with the Fuji 100 from Japan.

                                    Thanks! But I can take no credit for that. It was a calm, sunny, pandemic morning. Right place, right time.

                                        @ROman thanks! Was so stoked to finally use the Fuji 100 I got in Japan. Special film for a special trip.

                                            Figured I should post this here as well as in Music. Over the years I’ve posted some of my surfing photography,and back in 1981 my band,Sorrows,recorded an instrumental called Slo Surfing. Just for fun I made a slide show using my images with the song. The record company got wind of this and today it was released as a video.
