Thanks Dave much appreciated.I've owned both 56mm and 60mm lens, and whilst the image quality between the two is actually very similar the AF on the 56mm is much much quicker.

Well FWIW... I recently (15 days ago iirc) lost the flash sync cover from my Pro1, and I couldn't find anyone selling one (the XT1 one is different)
So I dropped Fuji UK an email on the same day which was a Thurs. Hearing nothing back and being impatient, I visited my local second hand film camera store and they gave me one from a canon ae1 slr (foc) which pleased me!
The following Tuesday (might of been Monday actually) Fuji got back to me asking, what's my address, they'd send one out to me foc, which arrived the next day
So yes, it is the little things, and that pleased me.
I've no clue why they haven't got back to you tho... FYI the online store is closed until the 15/2
Budget not to much an issue mate just want to get it right first time..I have a feeling I would regret not gouing for the 56mm if I chose the 60mm to save a few quid.I think my minds pretty made up on lenses for now its just the body I cannot decide on xe2/xpro 1 or even xt10 fuji has far too many modelsNo worries @StuartH As Adam says it's highly subjective. One thing I do find with the 56mm is nailing focus at 1.2 is an art in itself, and quite often you end up stopping the lens down a little just to get the best from it. However, it's a beast of a lens, that's why it's so loved. But still, as slow and deliberate as the 60mm is, I think it's one of Fuji's much maligned lenses and a quality bit of kit. If budget is an issue the 60mm is a great option.

Its a shame that they haven't but I am sure they will eventually.
The store keeps updating, it was supposed to be back online around the 3rd or 4th I recall and it keeps getting pushed back. First to the 8th, then the 10th, 11th, and now the 15th so I'm not sure the date has any sort of bearing on reality to be honest. I guess only time will tell but so far my trust and perception in the brand due to this has been tainted a little.
If budget is no issue, then 56mm, simples.
Body wise, as great as the X-Pro1 is for photographing with the soul )), again the X-E2 & X-T10 hands it it's a**e as far as speed (and features) go! I think the choice is then do you want a "rangefinder" style or more normal style ie, XE2 or X-T10. When I bought my X-Pro1 my mind was set on an X-E1 at the time, but when I handled both the X-Pro1 was a much nicer thing to hold, so you really need to grasp both and see which is nicer in hand, given the performance issues aside.
Yeah remember seeing that code on here will give it a go if I havent got too impatient and brought it all new by the time fuji store is up and running lol
That would be a nice surprise but didn't the last promotion just expired?Fujirumours is suggesting a new Fuji instant rebate in the US starting 15 February... maybe it'll happen here too?
I know how that feels.. The store opening date keeps getting pushed back and as they don't seem to want to reply to any business requests I went and purchased else where. Still a Fuji though so no skin off of their noses.Yeah remember seeing that code on here will give it a go if I havent got too impatient and brought it all new by the time fuji store is up and running lol
If anyone is interested.... I'm writing about my lust/hate/love affair with the X-Pro1 on my blog!

There's also lots of shots with the Pro1 and XT1 as well!
So here's part two for your perusal!
Yes please Ian, appreciated.Anyone need/want an X-pro 1 owner's manual? I just found one lying about - no good to me as I've sold my XP1. Free to a good home.
Yes please Ian, appreciated.

Do you ever pine for something that you've had already?
Thanks

If you're seriously considering one now is definitely the time to buy, I reckon there's loads of 2nd hand bargains about atmI have fancied trying an XP1 again, I had one back in the early days in 2012 but I think its been much improved since then with firmware, the XP2 coming soon probably isn't helping!
