Ouch, I guess it was too expensive to repair. A lot of camera manufacturers have a fixed fee for everything, but I am not sure about Panasonic. On the bright side, you got a new and super camera.

Snap! I’ve got a 135mm too. I’ve not played with that one much yet. Hope you are both keeping well.

Thanks Ivor …the sensor was cracked 😥. It happened at Blast Beach Seaham. Near the ‘cliffs’ the mud like stuff at the rear of like stuff is lethal …slippery than ice . The body of the camera was ok but somehow or other the impact caused the sensor to crack .

Thanks Graham, Yes we are all fine. Hope everything is going well for you and yours too.

Fuji cameras are great too, in fact all the big brands make great cameras and the ergonomics of each suit different people. I take it the GX8 wasn’t repairable.

Thanks for this . I hope all is well with you , your family and friends in these difficult times.

I broke my Panasonic GX8 I’m 2018 when I fell down . I replaced it with a Fuji XT3 .

Thanks didn’t listen to myself 😩. Weight !

The XT3 is a very good camera especially that it is ‘old school’ ..turn a top dial for shutter speed, another for ISO and the ring around the lens for aperture .

However …lenses ! heavier and less versatile.

I keep on thinking of going back to 4/3 …for …weight.

All the best
