Oh no ! Omd going in the classifieds Chris ?
Oh no, the OMD is much more versatile than the X-Pro 1, for example for aviation and motorsport shots with the 100-300, couldn't do that with the XP1

Got back from Peru last weekend. Very happy with the camera overall. The 35 saw little use compared to the 18 though, mainly because of the landscapes I was hiking through.
Niiiice
I know where that road goes. Looks like you had better weather than me. About 3 metres vis at the top and actual snow....
You should have seen how clear it was at night. Never seen anything like it, not even in the Himalayas.

Sunny the entire time other than the last night where it lashed it down something awful.
I've been using an ADATA Premier Pro UHS-I U1 card in my X Pro 1 for a few days now, it feels faster in the camera but not massively, certainly a lot faster transferring files using a USB 3 card reader though.
Anyone else using one ?
WOW!
Looks cold though....
They look pretty nice - but what did you pay for it? The 90 speed SanDisks seem OK to me unless you're shooting bursts. Or using a Mac....
£21.98 for a 16GB, I think the card I used before was particularly crap.
Interesting experience at the w/e. I took the X-Pro 1 to a wedding for the first time (it deserved a treat). I used it during bridal prep but once the actual wedding kicked off I reverted to the Nikons because they are much more familiar.
It did quite nicely though. Couple of SOOC jpegs.
(Yeah I like B&W)
Any other way to cheat more than 2 stops exposure comp out of it?
Would changing the DR setting help you gain any more stops, perhaps?
Anybody know much about manual mode and EVF?
I usually shoot with the OVF if I can. I like the WYSIWYG nature. Yesterday it was VERY contrasty and +2 EV wasn't enough so I had to switch to manual to get the exposure I wanted. I was pretty shocked that the viewfinder no longer showed me what I was going to get when I half pressed the button. Is this normal?

Forgive my naivety but how much could Fuji move the baseline exposure with firmware ?
What I do - shoot A mode, set the AEL/AFL button to AEL only, and the switch to "toggle". Point the focus point at the brightest part of the scene you don't want to blow out and EV adjust until its not blown out, then lock it.
Nice shots Chris.
Does anyone know if there are Lightroom presets or similar available that recreate the Fuji film styles? Ideally I'd like free ones... But I find LR4 changes my RAW files back to their undeveloped state after I import them.
Also, which size screen covers is everyone going for?
Having recently moved over to the X-Pro 1 from Canon kit, I have an old Sunpak 888AFZ flash that I forgot to get rid of. Would this flash work with the X-Pro 1 in manual mode?
Nice shot Jonathan btw, very gritty.
New firmware announced.
The 10x magnifications / focus check feature on the X-Pro1 has been well received and in this firmware update an additional 3x option is now available. It is also now possible to find the optimum focus point whilst viewing the entire screen.
OK, simple question for all you bods.
