I agree, foibles is a great word as well lolJust dusted off my X-Pro1 to use again - it's the one camera I have I'd rescue in a house fire!
Absolutely love that camera despite its foibles![]()
Definitely foibles, I quite like the X-Pro2, but it's a lot like the X-Pro1 without foibles and foibles are goodI agree, foibles is a great word as well lol
It's a great lens, it produces lovely images, if you can put up with its slow focus and the whirring clicky clattering noise it makes. Unfortunately I couldn't and to be honest 35mm on an crop,sensor isn't a focal length I'm fond of.Definitely foibles, I quite like the X-Pro2, but it's a lot like the X-Pro1 without foibles and foibles are good![]()
I also have the 23 and 35 WR 2.0 lenses, I just like the metal hood...and 50mm focal length on street works quite well. 35mm is my prefer go to focal length but the 23mm R and WR looks like arse and I find the WR lenses too small, there's nothing to hold on to with my left hand.It's a great lens, it produces lovely images, if you can put up with its slow focus and the whirring clicky clattering noise it makes.

It's a great lens, I like the whirring and crunching of the AF and even more the photographs it's capable of making. I rarely shoot mine above f2.8 such is my love for the look wide open or close to it producesWhy am I more excited about getting a 35/1.4 R than I was getting my Canon 35L mk2....
I think it may be to do with how retro cool it'll look on my X-Pro 1 with that square metal hood.
I had it for a day and I like it, just been on my mind for ages and I thought I buy it and get it over with. It will sell for roughly the same I paid anyway so risk is low.It's a great lens, I like the whirring and crunching of the AF and even more the photographs it's capable of making.

It seems a bit marmite for some. Personally I love it, I think it's Fuji's best lens. Then again, I love the old 18mm f2 and that creaks and groans even moreI had it for a day and I like it, just been on my mind for ages and I thought I buy it and get it over with.

I might leave it permanently on the X-Pro 1 though as they seem to be made for each other, design wise. It reminds me of old Leica cameras.
I read that although it's not the sharpest lens but any softness has a nice pleasing look to it.It seems a bit marmite for some. Personally I love it, I think it's Fuji's best lens. Then again, I love the old 18mm f2 and that creaks and groans even more![]()
Yeah, sharp in the middle less so in the corners but actually I like that. Great little lens for the money they go for second hand now.I read that although it's not the sharpest lens but any softness has a nice pleasing look to it.
We'll see.
Just love those colours.The start of a lovely walk.....

X-Pro1 and 10-24 - cropped
Yes, the 10-24 and X-Pro1 is a great combo - but I still don't like carting it around when I'm out walking - that is why I've acquired an XF18mm which hopefully will provide me with a lighter solution albeit at the expense of IQ and reach - I'll give it a try anyway.Just love those colours.
Sometimes I wish I had 2x 35mm f/1.4 for my Fujis. It's usually on my XT-1, but as I prefer that for manual focus shooting than the pro1, I switch them over a lot. The 35 sits on the Xpro1 when I'm MF shooting with the T1. I love the lens, it's the best 35 I've owned along with maybe the Sigma 35 1.4 'Art' - which I used on my old D800E - a perfect match. This fuji 35 1.4 is every bit as sharp IMHO, and I think I prefer it's rendering. It shoots beautifully on both cameras, it is a lot faster to lock on with the XT-1, but using either set up I have never been irritated or put off by any hunting or noise that you hear people over dramatize about.Why am I more excited about getting a 35/1.4 R than I was getting my Canon 35L mk2....

An absolute bargain - don't forget to upgrade the firmware if necessary. Where else can you get such quality for 250 quid??Was in manchester trafford centre yesterday and John Lewis got a X Pro 1 with original package for £250 that comes with 2 year warranty. Just want to mention this if anyone is interest and is in manchester.
Yeah, I already bought a XE2s from the fuji refurbish store a few weeks ago as a second fuji camera. If i haven't I probably bought this one instead.An absolute bargain - don't forget to upgrade the firmware if necessary. Where else can you get such quality for 250 quid??
There's nothing wrong with that - lovelyYesterday was sat on the sofa working my way through the x-pro1 manual (I do this every so often in the hope that one day all the little intricacies will stick) and the daughter-in-law's dog was sat watching. Must admit I'd love a 2 one day, but I suspect it'll never happen, but meanwhile I do still enjoy the results the 1 gives me.

Yes, I agree. And I still maintain there are subtle differences between the X-Pro2 and the T2 - but that discussion is for another forum!I am finding the colour profit to the X-T1 slightly different...have to change my processing to suit.

Really nice, the second one looks like a film photographI recently re-acquired the x-pro1 (for the third time lol)
