Marysville, Victoria.
Our walk up to the De La Rue lookout afforded us this wonderful view over Marysville and into the ranges.
Taking a few photographs over the weekend was a pleasant return to photography, after a bit of a slow year for it. What I did cement in my mind was that having two cameras was a bit over the top for a photographer like me and that moving forward, concentrating on my Fujifilm system would be the way to go for a number of reasons.
Today, I headed to a local "TEDS" camera store and sold them my Nikon Z5, the 24 - 50 and the 24 - 200 lenses for a very fair price. I cannot say I disliked anything, other than the weight, of the Nikon system but it was just not quite as good, for my purposes, as the Fujifilm. Initially I had intended to simply sell the Nikon system. In the end, the value covered a new 70 - 300mm lens for the X-E3, with money left over, so I opted for that.
As an aside, I purchased my first SLR from TEDS in Sydney in 2001, when Carolin and I were backpacking and I had no real idea about photography and certainly no inkling that nine years later, I would migrate to Australia. I am pleased to report, that even thought it's a different branch to back then, the customer service was excellent then and now.
