Hi Mike,

I think you need on of each! I generally prefer the aps-c for landscapes and macro and FF for portraits and studio. Using a 10-12mm lens on an aps-c gives a lot of cool landscape options which you would pretty much need a T&S lens on an FF. Conversely, I enjoy the 85/1.8 and 300/2.8 on my FF!
Come to think of it, I always wanted a fuji gx680....

I don't particularly understand what you are trying to say here. The equivalent of a 10-12 mm lens on APS-C on FF is 16-19 mm lens on FF, and there are plenty of those, if you are talking about zoom lenses, and plenty when talking about primes, while there are no equivalent primes for APS-C. And you certainly don't need a tilt-shift lens for the same "cool options", because we are only talking about normal DoF here.
The big advantage of FF also has been that there were good UWA lenses available, although that is mitigated to some degree by the slew of APS-C UWA lenses that has come out over the last 5 years or so. The big advantage of APS-C is the extra "reach" it gives you, due to the "cropfactor", which can IOW be a good thing with telelenses.
Kind regards, Wim
