What software did you use and how did you make them such bold Black and white love them
You make it sound easy but the results are truly brilliantA very simple process. All photos were 30 sec expsoures with an Hoya ProND1000 filter
Import RAW into Lightroom5.7, set profile to Velvia, crop as required, then Edit in SilverEfexPro2.0 just selected a preset profile (Low Key 2) and apply a border, return to Lightroom, export as JPG. Resize in PaintShopPro, upload to flickr!!!
Bloody impressive... Do you highly rate this XE 2 as I may look into one of these now instead of a XT 1....
What the EVF like on this as I believe some had terrible flicker and this been corrected on the XT 1
It was the X-E1 that was supposed to have a poor refresh rate. The EVF on the X-E2 is improved.
Wow! That's a crazy price!!Hi Henry. Have you considered the refurb store?

I've got the 16-50 & 50-230 as well as the 18-55 (had the 55-200 until recently) They are much lighter lenses for carrying, feel cheaper and don't have an aperture ring. Slight difference in aperture range as well.
Optically when used at the same settings I'd be hard pushed to tell a difference, which is why I kept the 50-230 and sold the 55-200. My preference would be the more expensive lenses but selling one helped me get the XF-23.
I've never owned the X-E1 but I've had the X-pro1, X-A1, X-M1, X-E2 and the X-T1, The focus speed on the X-Pro1 was annoying for shooting the Grandkids and I believe the X-E1 speed is similar to that. Owning the X-E2 and X-T1 now I wouldn't go back to that.

Tempted to buy even if I don't care for silver lenses as it allows me to evaluate the system. If I feel I need to upgrade, I can always sell on eBay at minimal loss.Hi Henry. Have you considered the refurb store?

The 35mm is still a brilliant lens. It's been overshadowed a bit by the 23mm and 56mm but I absolutely love mine (I also have the 56). It's sharp, light, focusses well with the new firmware updates (remember to check the lens firmware is also up to date) and has a lovely rendering.I ordered a refurb recently; black sold out, so went for silver. When I opened the package, I had a black body and silver lenses! I was slightly tempted to return the lenses and ask for black, but I was so pleased with the camera that I didn't bother. I now have the 18mm and a 35mm on order, so the 16-15mm at leat will be sold soon anyway.
Just pulled the trigger on a silver refurb XE1, with PAYPAL 12 getting me an extra 10%, its a total no brainer at just over £340I ordered a refurb recently; black sold out, so went for silver.

I just grabbed an XE-1 to take away on holiday, rather than lugging the DSLR. I'm a big fan of prime lenses, and only have a 16-50mm for the Fuji currently. Is the 35mm a good starting point for the Fuji line up, as I just missed a 23mm in the classifieds.
I would also be interested if you decide to move it on, I've been waiting a while for them to become available in the refurb. dept for a while nowGlad you got one too, I've been teetering on the edge of offering my x-e2. Not sure really need it, and on the rare occasion I pick it up instead of the X-T1 I keep pressing the wrong buttons.
