What camera do I buy? / general gear talk

Somewhere to keep your Oyster card, handy.

So, I still have bunch of Nikon lenses and no Nikon DSLR.

AF 28 f2.8
AF-S 50 f1.4
AF 70-210 f4-5.6
Af-s 17-55 f2.8
Tokina 12-24 f4

They're all in great shape with clear unmarked glass - I look after my shit.

If you want pics, DM me and happy to oblige.

I'm crap at eBaying stuff so I'm basically open to any open to offers that aren't taking the piss. eBay and PayPal are like 15pc on the nominal price, so there's a starting point.

Pick up near London Fields, or near Clerkenwell Green, or central if those aren't convenient. I don't want to post glass, though.

^Echoing the above sentiments in terms of eBay and sales in general, would anyone be interested in a mint, boxed X100t?

How much is 500 views of your sideline on Flickr worth?

I'm just away to pick up a Nikon F6 35mm camera. Would any of these lenses work on it?

The 28, the 50 and the 70-210 are all full-frame and should work on an F6.

I don't know, I'm not sure what that means.

Ha, you mean you don't accept incredibly low ball offers of a barter?

I got the tyres off Oli, by the way, thanks.

I'm open to bartering.

Much as I would love a Fuji I think any level you could come down to would still be above any I could reach. Why are you selling anyway?

I want to get the X100f

Is there a significant difference in the X100 range? I have an S and would love to know how much better the later gen is. TBH I just need an excuse to sell it and buy an RX1 or Leica Q.

Should anyone want to upgrade to @Dammit's X100T, I'm interested in buying an X100 or X100s. Though I'm very mean so am aiming for something towards the low end of ebay prices.
(I narrowly missed out on a £205 X100 early on in my searching so keep getting annoyed when they go for much higher).

Dont tempt me

Search ebay sold prices... happy to pay you towards the low end of those, minus whatever ebay fees and hassle add up to...
(which may well not be tempting as you'd probably get more just by listing it well)

Seems fair. I bought it from here in 2013 for about £300 and have got more than enough mileage out of it... Will have a ponder.

Only thing I prefer about it over the new ones is that it's not X-trans.

Mint X100T's seem to go for £600 on eBay, I'm discounting the ones with damage in the description. I'd like £500 for mine, which I believe is fair - I take care of my stuff.

Currently take all my photos with a iPhone 6S+. Generally suits my needs, but would like something with a optical zoom lens that's nicer than just digitally zooming on the photo as below.

This Canon Powershot SX420 seems cheap enough, but will the image quality be any better ?

I'm just away to pick up a Nikon F6 35mm camera. Would any of these lenses work on it?

Yes, all of them.

Maybe interested in the nifty fifty.

That's a really good deal. Someone should definitely sell me their x100 or x100s and buy this...
I'd be tempted myself but I don't have the money + I intend to use the camera while cycling which makes a £500 camera a little too risky.

Using a stem/bar mounted bag for it?

Hadn't really figure that out, but lately I've generally had at least a frame bag on for the kind of rides I'd use it on, so would probably go in there.
Ideally I'd prefer something smaller that I could fit in my jersey pocked more easily, used a Ricoh GR for this kind of thing previously, but scratched the lens on mine and feel like getting something that produces slightly higher quality images.

I read this review: http://www.kenrockwell.com/fuji/x100t.htm

And bought the camera, the lens-cap/filter that he recommended, and the grip.

The grip is very useful for both one-handed shooting and it means you never scratch the base when you put the camera down.
