Welcome back and Merry Christmas, I was a bit worried about you after the last couple of posts and I've seen the effect social media can have on some other people I follow. there is a photographer in the Lakes (Rob Parson: Just a walker with a camera) who I follow and who almost gave up last year after criticism online but he "pulled through" after realizing his words and pictures actually matter to more people than those who don't agree with him (and if you don't agree with somebody just don't follow them... simple). so keep it going, speak your mind and don't let the bastards grind you down.

the first time i picked up a fuji x-t1 i was immediately taken back to the handling of my old Nikon F3 (still have and occasionaly use for B+W). size, durability and ease of use all combined in the perfect camera. I loved the size of my OLY e-m5 but found the handling problematic. fuji are the goldilocks manufacturer at the moment although i am yet to handle an x-t4 and am a bit worried that the size is creeping up.
