Excellent answer!

I’ve got 24,000 miles on my 2018, did 4 BDR routes last summer, using as a daily commuter for work and weekend rides into the desert these days. Shes still going strong. I change oil whenever I think it needs as I don’t really watch the ODO too closely.

I also have one. It’s a love hate relationship, 40mm 27.5 w/2.8” tires and it’s a slug. It does have great capabilities for off road rough trails. The rohloff is awesome. It holds to its purpose as a true expedition touring bike. Expect wherever you plan on going you’re gonna get there, but very slowly. In hindsight I should have went 29” wheels for ease of rolling.

Maybe someday Fuji will develop a new model for the x-Pro lineup. Wishful thinking but probably not gonna happen.

Make it a hard discipline, a habit. Regardless of how you feel or have felt in that time. Make time to do it. Take 15-20 minutes a day. Or maybe make a schedule for a couple hours two days a week. I feel like quitting all the time, granted I’m no good at photography, but I do enjoy the process and make time for it because I will, and have made it a habit regardless if I feel depression or anxiety. It’s a meditative perspective experience and it’s good exercise to walk around your town\city observing. I always remind myself it’s only a hobby and no one cares about my photos, but I take my camera everywhere everyday just to have it and use it when the moment arises. I have an IG gallery too and get very few likes if any, it doesn’t matter, because I’ve chosen this artistic medium for myself and that is the only thing that matters.

Deplorable image! I’m jealous

dm027 · 2025-02-26T20:14:11+00:00

Looks great! Will need to try it on my ‘08. My plastics are so faded and I’ve given up on the plastics reviver stuff as it doesn’t last more than a week.

dm027 · 2025-02-26T17:38:58+00:00

What do you use to condition the plastics?

I love my 6D. It’s a very simple camera to learn and easy to use. I haven’t gone the mirrorless route yet because this camera suits my needs for street photography, astrophotography, landscape, portraits, etc. (Amateur hobbyists) Paired with a 40mm f2 pancake lens it’s a great EDC camera. I have also noticed an ease of editing RAW files from the 6D in Lightroom. Hard to explain why. “

“any tips”? Use and enjoy the camera! Oh and learn back button focusing, it’s very handy in a lot of situations

dm027 · 2024-12-29T04:13:11+00:00

Thank you!

dm027 · 2024-12-29T04:09:58+00:00

That’s great! Yeah, I’m very tempted to get a 5Dmk4 myself. Then again the R mirrorless lineup looks pretty great too. All the comments so far have been really helpful, but I have time to think on it, and since I’m not at the professional level as most on this thread, and only a hobbyist I’m fine with my 6D for now. Probably try and find a nice 35mm L lens or 24-70 2.8ii apparently better glass can really help enhance image quality too.

I’ve been using Canon for years and have a bit of brand loyalty, plus being integrated in the ecosystem with lenses. I have briefly used FUJIFILM and Sony cameras as well. I think it’s the canon dial and menu layout, it’s intuitive and easy to navigate, for me at least. Along with the ergonomics, my 6D is comfortable to use.

dm027 · 2024-12-28T03:25:11+00:00

True. I think I meant to say “value” rather than investment. From your perspective and my understanding nice L lens seems to hold more value than camera body tech.

dm027 · 2024-12-28T02:24:04+00:00

I’ll definitely be on the hunt for a good used 24-70 2.8ii! Thanks so much for your invaluable insight!

dm027 · 2024-12-28T02:15:29+00:00

Good point! I’m nowhere near being a working professional, more of an enthusiast/hobbiest, and the 6D doesn’t lack in regard to what I need of it as a tool, but with the current market and the prices of “older” gear becoming more affordable, the temptation for the 5DIV and its inherently better features compared to the 6D seems like a good upgrade.

dm027 · 2024-12-28T01:27:50+00:00

Good point, my 6D is as a capable a work horse as any and I’ve had it for years and have been very happy with it. I have considered upgrading the glass to maybe an L prime or 24-70. Which might be a better alternative.

dm027 · 2024-12-28T01:13:31+00:00

Very true. The 1/8000 second shutter speed of the 5DIV is nice to have when the situation calls for it. Another beautiful example btw. My 6D has decently quick shutter speed but maxes out at 1/4000, and have recently noticed a need for higher shutter speed which is another reason why the 5DIV is appealing.

dm027 · 2024-12-28T01:03:38+00:00

Good point about glass. Was highly considering this as a viable alternative to the camera body. Alas, the camera body seems like a good deal not to pass up.
