i just sipped the kool-aid. X100T new to me! care to share?

i just purchased my first fuji, a used X100T.

since i am a novice, i will ask those that know more:

what three insights do you care to share about fuji's images/raw/jpg or about the X100 line/X100T?

i am not thoroughly without and fuji knowledge.

i have been trolling fuji forum for years, along with watching YT fuji gear reviews.

why sip the fuji cool-aid now?

i am hoping the X100T will be my new walkabout camera.

presently, i carry a Nikon D750 w/50mm and/or the Ricoh GRII.

my fav ways to work a camera: event/reportage, street, cityscape, some landscape, even a touch of portrait.

any and all insights and thoughts are appreciated.

thumbs up.

Haven't gone down the Fujifilm road, though have been tempted. Waiting (and waiting and waiting and waiting) to see how the K-new turns out from Pentax.

Am curious, however, about your thoughts on your GR. -Z

I have some Fuji medium format film cameras.

Absolutely spectacular lenses.

One of them is 6x9 camera. It's utterly simple and a joy to use. It's purely mechanical, and it doesn't even have a light meter.

i ADORE the GRII!

the 2.8 lens is better than it should be: sharp, colorful, contrasty.

handling is fine.

battery pitiful.

the ONLY thing i am not in love with is the 28mm FOV.

for me, it's just a hair too wide, with just too much stuff in the frame.

now when i use this for landscape and cityscape, it is not an issue. i want the breath, i want the width.

but with street, event. and especially with portraits/faces, the 28mm will slightly alter the features on the subject's face.

i am now learning the Fuji X100T's 35mm FOV and whether it will be a better tool for what i need.

i hope the above is helpful.

be well.

I love those cameras. One day when I can figure out where to install a darkroom, I'll hopefully buy one, to go along with my other unused 6x4.5 and 4x5in cameras.....

Lemme known if you want to find a new home for the GR.
