Savageduck says... http://charrisonphoto.net/blog/2017/7/6/fuji-x-t2-vs-nikon-d750-motorsport If he includes the 56/1.2, his X-T2 kit is only 400 grams lighter than his D750 kit. But for what concerns me, my micro 4/3 kit is significantly than my APS- C kit. While the bodies with the allrounder zoom have about the same weight (but the 12-100 m4/3 lens has more range than the 16-80 APS-C lens), the 75-300 m4/3 lens is much lighter than the 70-300 G SSM APS-C lens (and has more range and better image quality). That's because the 70-300 lens is fullframe-compatible which makes it bigger and heavier than it needs to be. Then I could replace the Sigma 8-16 UWA lens with a Laowa 7.5 prime (about 600 grams vs. less than 200 grams). No such lenses available in the Sony APS-C world. Finally, instead of a heavy (but powerful) external flash I bought a small and lightweight Meike flash for m4/3. Very, very seldom I need the full power of the bigger flash (and I rarely use the flash anyway). For the kind of photography I'm doing (travel photography), I'm out from morning to late evening and then every gram you carry with you matters. With the APS-C kit I ended up leaving lenses at home and not carrying the flash, often I would just bring the camera with the 16-80 zoom with me. But with the new m4/3 kit, I can carry the complete kit with me all the time because it is light enough. Oh, and BTW, I don't even need a tripod anymore, because due to image stabilisation sharp 1-5 seconds handheld shots are possible. What's the point of having the greatest camera and lenses, if you don't have it with you when you need it. My brother a while ago bought a Nikon D600. Initially he used it ia bit, but over time he started leaving it at home, because it was too bulky and instead carried around a smaller Canon APS-C mirrorless. Now he is not using the D600 anymore. -- Alfred Molon Olympus E-series DSLRs and micro 4/3 forum at http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/MyOlympus/ http://myolympus.org/ photo sharing site |

That Fujicon 100-400mm is a big lens, and at $1900 not inexpensive. However, it is the only option for Fujifilm X-series shooters looking for that sort of FL. I can only see myself renting it for specific events. For my daily use I am sticking to primes; 14mm, 23mm, 35mm, and two zooms, the 18-55mm and the 55-200mm. I am also looking at the new 50mm f/2.0 and the 50-140mm f/2.8. But for what concerns me, my micro 4/3 kit is significantly than my APS- C kit. I guess you mean "significantly lighter"? While the bodies with the allrounder zoom have about the same weight (but the 12-100 m4/3 lens has more range than the 16-80 APS-C lens), the 75-300 m4/3 lens is much lighter than the 70-300 G SSM APS-C lens (and has more range and better image quality).

But with the new m4/3 kit, I can carry the complete kit with me all the time because it is light enough. I pretty much find myself in a similar situation with my X-E2 and X-T2. However, these days when I go for a walk, I might just select a prime (lately my most used lens is the XF23mm f/2.0) and only use that, or add another prime, and/or the XF18-55mm to my pocket. Oh, and BTW, I don't even need a tripod anymore, because due to image stabilisation sharp 1-5 seconds handheld shots are possible. What's the point of having the greatest camera and lenses, if you don't have it with you when you need it. These days I can have my greatest camera, the X-T2, with me when I need it while my D300S sits at home. My brother a while ago bought a Nikon D600. Initially he used it ia bit, but over time he started leaving it at home, because it was too bulky and instead carried around a smaller Canon APS-C mirrorless. Now he is not using the D600 anymore. From my point of view, the greatest benefit of my move from Nikon DSLR to the Fujifilm APS-C X-system has been the weight saving, and being able to fit a 4 lens travel kit into a Domke 803 bag, rather than lug the load of a D300S + battery grip and lenses. -- Regards, Savageduck |

How much would a EOS-M kit with a similar focal length range weight? Note that the E-M1 II body is not exactly a light-weight. The other camera, the Panasonic GM1 with a 12-32 zoom (24-64 equiv.) is 280g - try beating that. -- Alfred Molon Olympus E-series DSLRs and micro 4/3 forum at http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/MyOlympus/ http://myolympus.org/ photo sharing site |

Note that the E-M1 II body is not exactly a light-weight. All pain without gain then! The other camera, the Panasonic GM1 with a 12-32 zoom (24-64 equiv.) is 280g - try beating that. My Xperia M4 weight's 130g and that is that what I'll be using the coming months! ;-) -- teleportation kills |
