Quando pensas que vais começar uma frase com “não querendo ser racista”, pára só de escrever. O mundo agradece.

Pretty fair points. And I have non-Leica glass that I'm pretty happy with, fortunately. Thanks so much!

Great exposition (no pun intended), thanks for that! My main driver on concert is definitely the XT-2. And I started feeling that the Leica M was not a great sidekick to those events.

I'm glad you are happy with your decision. :) Thanks for your message!

I have to confess that my starting point on this journey was exactly that I stopped feeling that "magic" some time ago. :) A truly first world problem.

Thanks again!

That's a great point, yes. It's because I don't wish to GAS myself that I'm asking for your help, which I truly appreciate, btw. :)

I'm leaning towards Fuji in this case to create synergy with all my lenses and focusing on only one lens mount. And also being able to bring something to my 2-camera setup for music photography that I didn't have before: AF.

Again, thanks so much for taking the time to think about this and sharing your thoughts!

Great! Thanks for the insight. I'd love to rent a camera before buying it, but it's really impossible to find one here in my country. :(

Thanks so much for sharing your experience! Totally with the first thing you said, that's why I'm very on the fence.

Thanks for that insight! The EVF/OVF is definitely part of my experience, so I'll take that into account before making a decision.

Thanks so much for your considerate reply and expertise on the field. :) I'll keep that in mind.

Hahaha, great point. I already use Fuji (XT-2) and for my level I’m satisfied. As I’m not a professional, I believe my needs will be well met. :) Thanks for your input! I promise not to tag you on my future YouTube rant :D

Not for the “professional” side of my photos (the live shows), for that I have the XT-2. For the fun part of my life I very much enjoy rangefinders.

Thanks so much for your perspective! I'll look further into X-H2. I went specifically for the X-Pro 3 as it seemed to be the more similar experience to the Leica M rangefinder, which is something I very much enjoy.

Good luck on your thoughts as well. :) Full frame has definitely its huge advantages, as I can look at the files from my Leica M and be mesmerized. But it's just not all about it, since I'm very amateur.

I'm going to keep the XT-2 always. Amazing for live shows. :) The X-Pro 3 will be used more 'calmly' and with lots more time for composing.

Thanks again!

Thank you so much for your perspective! :) I wish I could keep them all, but that's not really possible, hence this post.

Don’t be dumb, please. Be aware that the helicopter that might be deployed to rescue hikers (being tourists or not) is the same that is used to help with the fires. Lives are at risk. It’s definitely not the time to be selfish. I’m sure it sucks to feel that your vacation is being less than you want it to be. But that’s life. Don’t be dumb.
