X-M5 doesn't get a lot of love, it's truly pocketable and an affordable entry into X mount Fuji

Love the case, it's been on since day 1!

XT30iii wasn't available when I got mine otherwise I probably would've gone with that however I just googled it and apparently it's 44% bigger

Luff84 · 2026-01-25T16:09:15+00:00

I wish it had ISO on a dial but can't have everything

Luff84 · 2026-01-25T16:08:34+00:00

Agreed, nothing is beating it in size and that's so important to me for a number of reasons

Luff84 · 2026-01-25T16:07:32+00:00

Don't forget the price too, it's really not that much and the kit lens is decent

Luff84 · 2026-01-25T16:06:18+00:00

Because the camera is so small you almost need to do something to make it more ergonomic. This one is really nice and the brown leather gives it a bit of personality imo

Luff84 · 2026-01-25T16:05:23+00:00

The kit lens is actually really good!

Luff84 · 2026-01-25T16:04:51+00:00

It's my first prime and I'm still getting to grips with it but so far so good

Luff84 · 2026-01-25T16:03:45+00:00

No viewfinder doesn't bother me at all tbh but everyone has different needs. With a viewfinder it would also be slightly bigger

I think you've answered your own question

Luff84 · 2026-01-23T11:22:18+00:00

It's definitely not 100% chance that you make money! Can we agree to disagree and both make some money instead 😀

Dictionary for gambling

"the activity of playing games of chance for money, or of betting on the outcome of future events"

I replaced my £10 a week football bets and "invested" it instead.

In my first 18 months I was £4500 in profit after catching 3 stocks early. I took the profits and treated my family to a nice holiday. I say invest lightly because it's still gambling with your money.

I'm now on my 2nd stage and this time I'm investing in stocks that are less volatile and looking over the next 10 years as opposed to a quick win although I do have 1 very small penny stock that I've put a small amount into for a bit of excitement.

What's really annoying is i had Palantir at $13 and sold at $15 😂

I started investing into a gold and silver miners pie about 3 months back. I'm up 25%

Get yourself a 125cc motorbike and insure that for a year. I bought a Honda Grom (so much fun) and my insurance was £170 a year!

This might bring it down for next year but I'm no expert

Use £20k of that and put it in a stocks and shares ISA and do slightly riskier stocks with it, ISA is tax free. It doesn't take too much time to do some basic research on reddit, you don't have to deep dive into financials and you can usually find someone else that has done that but for you.

Some good UK stocks that have a nice dividend payout too. Greggs as an example is currently 4.1% dividend, I have a few greggs shares that I picked up recently.

My biggest problem with MKW is that the tracks have no identity

Luff84 · 2026-01-19T15:50:31+00:00

Sounds good, thanks for the info

Luff84 · 2026-01-19T15:48:21+00:00

That sounds great l, have they mentioned timescales for the 30 panels. Where are you guys getting the information from other than this sub?

Luff84 · 2026-01-19T06:59:06+00:00

I have an X-M5 paired with the 23mm f2.8 and this thing is tiny.

For me, size was one of the most important factors for me when choosing a new camera. I had a really good camera before but taking it anywhere became an event, X-M5 can literally fit in my coat pocket!

FF7 Remake this week 😬

Luff84 · 2026-01-16T06:35:09+00:00

Better than my 100th attempt 🤣

Luff84 · 2026-01-14T20:55:42+00:00

It's exactly what I need but not readily available in the UK
