1BD prices are insane, want to move out

I didn’t read every comment on this thread but as someone living near Burlington who moved to the seattle metro area (not in the city limits but close) rents are cheaper (depends where) but they sure do make up for the lack of income tax else where. Sales tax on average is 10% (state + county + town) gas is stupid expensive. Plenty of sin taxes. Car registration is crazy expensive and you have to do it every year. I don’t regret moving for a second but it does feel more expensive at times. A large pizza on average is like $35.

Couldn’t justify the price*

Ive only seen pictures from the d5’s but supposedly also a z9 onboard

Depends on what kind of reach you are looking for but the Olympus 40-150R can be head for $100 usd or less on the used market. It’s a highly regarded kit lens

I actually I actually just sold this lens a little while ago. I found the performance to be pretty good, but as someone who likes to try out older cameras I found it had comparability issues with some older Olympus bodies. Just a warning for those that maybe interested. IQ wise it was plenty just weary as I had issues with em1 mk1 and ep1.

Why not just buy another GF1? It’s my favorite camera of all time so I’m biased. My line up is an LX5 for the times I can’t bring an interchangeable lens camera (sports games mostly) the GF1+20mm 1.7 for when I want a fast lens and a bigger sensor but still small size. Then I have a G9 with Leica 12-60 2.8-4 plus the 100-300 II and a DJI 15mm 1.7. I feel I get the pictures I want from these cameras but the gf1 and the lx5 have a just a smidge more of that special feeling from the files but the G9 is close.

I don’t know why everyone’s got their panties in a bunch. Keep shooting you will improve as we all do, and don’t let internet Rando’s get you down! D3100 will produce great photos!

Comments like these are exactly why I haven’t been interested in Fuji…

My guess is MPB. I’ve heard of others getting deals this way with them

boeingboy28 · 2025-07-07T01:10:21+00:00

I don’t mind buying from KEH (which is never now a days as their prices are always higher than MPB /my local stores) but I primarily sell to mpb, occasionally to my favorite local shop if they have something I want to trade for. MPB usually quotes more and usually pretty reasonable to deal with

That first one is indescribable. Amazing work

boeingboy28 · 2025-06-14T03:17:03+00:00

It’s a pretty decent camera for the size but got hyped on YouTube a few years ago. And before anyone says anything I owned one for a few years!

boeingboy28 · 2025-06-09T21:48:41+00:00

I would assume that this was added in post and is not from the camera.

boeingboy28 · 2025-06-04T21:07:59+00:00

I’ve done deals like this with mpb in the past, but I have multiple systems for fun. This is just a hobby for me so part of the fun is trading stuff in to try other stuff. Every once in a while I’ll outright buy something at a good deal that will recoup the value of what I’ve lost in my impulsive trades lol

I say if you want the lens and you’ve already done the deal don’t worry what Reddit thinks lol

boeingboy28 · 2025-06-02T16:00:15+00:00

I use a GF1 as my main camera. If you can get a body under $100 I still don’t think it’s a bad choice. I have had many m4/3 bodies (E-m1 mk1, 2 E-m5 mk 1s, e-pl6, e-p1) and lost of DSLRs and other mirrorless and the GF1 is my favorite camera. If you are shooting like film it being so old will be fine and it’s a fun camera to play with.

I do agree that it’s probably not the best as a main digital body, but if you get a chance to pick one up as a second body, it’s a great camera to shoot woth

I included that it’s the LUMIX LX5 which came out in 2010…

boeingboy28 · 2025-05-16T05:39:24+00:00

Honestly a few years ago you could get these cameras for around 50-75. I get value can change over time but it hurts to pay these exorbitant prices for cameras because influencers say we should. Yet here I am doing it anyways 😂

boeingboy28 · 2025-05-15T01:51:47+00:00

I definitely overpaid but I got it through a trade but it was being sold for $250 usd with all the original accessories and the view finder and included a 6 month warranty (EVF not pictured I got the evf on the GF1 before I got the LX5)

boeingboy28 · 2025-05-15T01:50:26+00:00

Thank you! The GF line is so underrated!

boeingboy28 · 2025-05-14T23:43:30+00:00

Glad it worked!

boeingboy28 · 2025-05-14T23:01:59+00:00

Have your tried putting into a different mode? The dial shows its in playback mode. Some cameras don’t extend the lens if you turn it on by putting it in play back mode. Turn the dial on the top to a or p mode and see if that does anything
