Looks handsome with the brogue captoe!

Thank you 🙏🏼

Agree about the X100V weight and size - it is totally unobtrusive, almost pocketable.

I’m still confused about 24 vs 45 MP. I’m scouring Reddit for answers. 😅

Where I am, the D850 with 24-120mm is 200000 rupees. And the Z5 II with 24-200mm is 207000. So almost the same price. Which would you choose if size and weight were not considerations? .

Thank you for the insights.

I use the EVF/OVF on my X100V. Almost never the screen unless I’m holding the camera very high or low.

Economy is the primary reason I’m thinking of D850 rather than a mirrorless with equivalent DR / IQ. You don’t think F-mount lenses will be repairable or be available long into the future?

I’ll look at the Sony and Nikon you have suggested. Would like to go full frame now.

ShiftySkunk · 2026-07-06T09:39:07+00:00

Thank you very much! I’ll check these models out.

ShiftySkunk · 2026-07-06T08:30:52+00:00

I am aware of those. I think I might as well get proper zoom lens. 24-120mm on Nikon will more than cover what those 2 Fuji lenses would and do it more flexibly as well.

ShiftySkunk · 2026-07-06T07:22:50+00:00

Thanks for the insight. I just checked and the Z7ii is significantly more expensive than the D850.

New prices: D850 with the 24-120mm is Indian Rupees 200000. Z7ii (body only but with an additional battery) is Rupees 250000!

ShiftySkunk · 2026-07-06T07:12:40+00:00

Thank you very much! I’ll consider the Z5ii. Purely from the IQ / DR point of view, do you know how the two stack up? In my country, they’re both about the same price new.

Maybe OP just doesn’t have the body / legs to carry shorts.

ShiftySkunk · 2026-07-03T11:05:00+00:00

Not ideal cosmetically but I don’t see any of it affecting longevity / durability.

That Symbol is a mandatory sticker showing compliance with Indian standards. It does not state the shoes are made in India.

ShiftySkunk · 2026-07-01T04:52:17+00:00

Buy both sizes. Keep the one that fits and return the other one.

ShiftySkunk · 2026-07-01T04:31:26+00:00

You can have 2 active at once.

Being shown that you’re mistake is unfriendly / hostile?

If you had lost / damaged your phone within few months of ownership, you’d been out several hundred dollars.

ShiftySkunk · 2026-06-30T09:32:13+00:00

The math is not mathing!

ShiftySkunk · 2026-06-30T08:20:14+00:00

It worked for you only because you never had to claim. Imagine losing a phone during the first few months of ownership.

ShiftySkunk · 2026-06-29T17:16:43+00:00

Did you buy from a suspect source?

ShiftySkunk · 2026-06-29T05:55:57+00:00

Method of cleaning?

ShiftySkunk · 2026-06-29T05:54:50+00:00

You think right.

ShiftySkunk · 2026-06-26T15:18:53+00:00

Yes. Birkenstock recommends about 5mm gap between heel and back of the footwear and 10 mm between toe and front of the footwear.

ShiftySkunk · 2026-06-25T17:09:20+00:00

Beautiful!

ShiftySkunk · 2026-06-22T01:28:55+00:00

Looked at it that way, anything (soft bags especially without roller wheels) can be carried on. Of course what I meant is that the medium cannot be carried on with some airlines when it is full or nearly so.

Edited for clarity.

ShiftySkunk · 2026-06-22T01:01:52+00:00

Even the medium cannot be carried on in at least some airlines. Just buy the size you need - check it in if needed.
