Mirrorless body with good long prime - Help

Cheers Steve. I didn't know much about the fuji 90mm till just now. I haven't saw one on the forums but i could stretch to £800. I'll more than likely be moving it on after my holiday anyway so the cost isn't really that important. Have you used either combo?

Will you get an OMD and an Oly 75mm f1.8 for £700?

You could consider an X-E2 and the fuji 90mm f2 for about £800 used.

Maybe not, the fuji 90mm isn't stabilised.

Cheers Ned. I have only heard good things about the 75mm but i've never used an omd body. Will get looking.

An EM5 or EM10 can be had for £200-250 and the 75 f/1.8 is around £470 second hand so it might just be possible within budget.

All the OMDs are lovely and the 75mm is a cracking lens if the focal length suits.

It took me less than 30 seconds (no exaggeration) to find two 75mm's in stock at a dealer for £499 each and an E-M10 at another dealer for £210 so it's possible to get a used Oly body and 75mm for just over budget at £710, if the op is interested in that combo

Yeah I forget about the E-M10

PS. Whilst looking for the Oly combo I spotted some good deals on the Panasonic GX7. This camera is a bit of a bargain and the op may want to have a quick look as it's sometimes available new at a very competitive price.

Actually I'm very tempted to buy one of those 75's... they do seem to get very good reviews and that seems a reasonable price...

Cheers Alan. I'll look now.
