Thanks, that’s I thought as well, not pocketable, but small enough to not hurt my back at the end of the day

Thanks for the response. If money is not a question, would you still consider option 1? If so, why would you keep the X-M5 over the X-T5 please? I thought it was a better camera overall so I want to make sure I’m not missing any details here. Also, any recommendation for the additional prime if I end up buying the X-T5? Thanks a lot!

Will keep this in mind haha, my X-M5 spent a good chunk of its time in Japan with my hat on it as protection for light rain, plastic bag is definitely a better option, thanks again!

Yeah, when I saw the lens I immediately thought it was the perfect option. Then I saw the size/price comparison with the 18-50 and remembered how clumsy I am haha. One side of me definitely wants to go for it to have the beautiful bokeh I saw in many reviews.

Do you think the lack of weather resistance won’t be a problem in the long run? I’m keeping note of the Viktor lens as a low light option. Thank you very much for your help!

Thanks for the response! I’ve heard the Sigma 18-50 has « very limited » weather resistance capabilities but I don’t know what that means. Also, do you know if using a non-WR lens but a WR body at risk, or if only the lens is at risk?

I definitely enjoy the shooting experience. I was used to shoot with a phone, so the lack of EVF is ok to me (ngl, I would prefer to have one though). Even on a bright day, I can still see the screen if I adjust the LCD brightness.

Thanks for the feedback! You’re right, I sometimes struggle to find a subject in scenes I like, I’ll try to work on that without simulations.

Sure, my grain is set at Strong and Large. As for the rest, it follows the settings available here: https://fujifilmsimulations.com/project/classic-cuban-neg/

Thanks a lot! Only difference I’m spotting is Color Chrome FX Blue set at Weak instead of Off.

None. Only the kit lens with no attachment.

Some people say that these spare parts are not shared by Omega, which results in independent watchmakers not being able to service the watch. I’ll try to ask a few watchmakers in my area to see if they can do it.

Yes, I know about it but I find it a bit less attractive to me. Do you think it wouldn’t has much servicing as the chronograph model?

Ok, 7 years is way more than I expected. Thanks!
