Today saw me meeting up with other TP photographers for an assault on London and the Chinese New Year festival.
I must say it was a good day and I have had a blast, the best thing of the day is I have a new Fav lens already.... Most of the day saw me totting the 45mm 1.8 which produced some great shots, as well as using the 40-150 to get a little bit of extra reach when shooting through the crowds.
Whilst on the train to London I was having a few doubts as to if the Olympus Pen would be responsive enough for my normal candid day out, that was doubt was banished once I hit the crowds... the focusing was rapid and spot on, and since I only had one battery with me (Note to self remember to order another one) I shot till I ran out of Juice.
I thought that I would get into trouble a lot soon with running out of juice as I was leaving the camera on all the time and just utilizing the sleep function as I thought turning on and off would be too slow and I might miss some shots, however the start up time is quite rapid but I still left it on all day.
Ended up shooting a total of 254 frames before the battery finally said enough is enough you have had your quota for the day.
So out of the X100 and the Pen which is my camera of choice for crowd surfing..... I would have to say the Pen, it performed flawlessly and the AF speed and accuracy is blistering and leaves the X100 standing at the start line wondering what happened. However on looks the X100 has it ..... its a pretty little beast even though Fuji could have put as much love and thought into the inner workings and AF system as they did with the exterior design.
So down to images now..... I will put a section of images in the thread but if you want to see the other it would be best to pop over to my Pbase site I will but a link bellow this paragraph before the images.
