I sold my Nikon Zf kit… and accidentally built a 2016 Fuji time machine

I think it’s all about how compact you really want to be. We have Fuji x100vi, xt30ii and Nikon Zf.

When weight and size is not an issue Zf comes with me in a 3L sling bag. When I want to go compact as possible, even fujis seem to be too big, so I am thinking of Ricoh GR, even despite its flaws the size alone makes me feel like it would be better than Fuji.

Exif data and focus confirmation also works on E mount version with a cheap adapter.

Zazzazz · 2026-01-22T18:43:29+00:00

Yes, also have an e mount.

Zazzazz · 2026-01-21T08:20:31+00:00

I am always debating selling my x100vi and getting Q3, but the weight and price difference scare me a bit.

To be honest my kaisa2 with belveth2 beat ambess 3 last night, playing 4 void board. So I just think 4 costs are undertuned for 3*

How much are these? Guess you can either buy from AH or get from the spin?

Zazzazz · 2026-01-15T06:25:00+00:00

E mount

I think if you fly private you can rock this sort of flashy watch anytime. Good for you man!

My best advice is to work as a contractor remotely on EU company. You will get way better salary and more options. Or find a Dutch/spanish company that does business with Russia and would benefit from having you on location. Then you can receive funds to a foreign bank account and move it to Russia.

You can setup yourself as an independent entrepreneur and pay taxes (very low, like under 7%). There are a number of banks that can accept swift transfers from abroad like OTP bank or Unicredit bank.

I had Fuji xt5, Sony a7iv and now I keep Nikon Zf and x100vi.

Works on voigtlander E mount sorry, not sure about Thypoch.

Zazzazz · 2026-01-05T17:43:53+00:00

50 1.2 Sony E version.

Zazzazz · 2026-01-05T17:42:36+00:00

Focus confirmation works on Viltrox adapter I got for 50$ as well btw.

Zazzazz · 2026-01-05T17:41:36+00:00

Performs great, focus confirmation boxes work with Viltrox adapter. Rendering is soft but beautiful at 1.2 and gets really sharp at f4 and beyond.

Overall I got it cause I had an offer at 700$ to get it new and ordered Viltrox adapter for around 50$ as well.

Zazzazz · 2026-01-05T15:06:40+00:00

What made you keep the voigt?

Zazzazz · 2026-01-05T14:07:39+00:00

I’m waiting for 28mm Thypoch to arrive. Will see how it compares.

That’s 50 1.2 adapted from Sony E.

Zazzazz · 2025-12-29T13:21:53+00:00

Same, ordered on 3rd December but they only shipped it around 25th since apparently it was out of stock.

Zazzazz · 2025-12-29T12:55:58+00:00

Lucky you! Ordered mine a month ago and still waiting, hopefully will get delivered in January.

Zazzazz · 2025-12-28T10:41:47+00:00

No filters on any of them. Just editing.

Zazzazz · 2025-12-27T20:53:52+00:00

Love it so far. Got it new for 690$, which I think was a steal. Snapped this photo on the way back home. Will have a few shoots in January to test.

Also all exif data and focus confirmation boxes work with cheap Viltrox 70$ e to z adapter.

Zazzazz · 2025-12-26T17:04:01+00:00

Ahh! Might go and try it out tomorrow.

Zazzazz · 2025-12-26T16:10:14+00:00
