Or have a look in the fuji refurbished shop Jim
Great news that it's so well built!I dropped my 18mm f2 from about 5ft up on to concrete when changing lenses on a recent trip to Florence. It landed with a small thud and rolled a few feet. When I picked it up to examine it, fearing the worst, I found no marks at all. Nothing. It still works perfectly. The thing is virtually bomb proof!
Here's a grab shot with the XF55-200mm lens, captured at f/5.6 - iso 400 - handheld - at 200mm end - manual focus. I was on my way to work a few months ago and had to stop and try capture this amazing sky.

Amazon have xp1 bodies, brand new for a penny under £300 at the moment. I think Fuji refurbished are the same price ( if they ever have any more in stock)I really need my xpro back, problem is there are no real deals used anymore.........why you ask? of course there is you say........ Because they are so damn cheap to buy new with the £499 deal , it makes no sense to buy used LOL but its £499 more than I have, I may have to say bye bye to a little x100t

I checked refurb £299 but Digitalrev are doing it for £259 delivered so I think I've made my mind upOr have a look in the fuji refurbished shop Jim
Can they be used with any Fuji lens ?I fancy the Fuji MCEX-11 macro extension tube for my personal floral photography, they're around £65 new. Nice

Was all set on getting a rx100 m3 then wandered into this thread and saw the xpro 1 deal with 18mm and 27mm primes... I'm cameraless at the mo so easily swayed! Bit out of touch on these hows the focus with recent firmwares..

Thanks, it's the beach at Deal near the Castle.Nice shot Allan, is that Fishermans beach in Hythe? Think I can see my work in the distance!

What's your opinion on the 18-135 Allan? I'll be getting one with an XT-1 but haven't had chance to use one yet and have had to go by reviewsI've used my 18mm for a while now, and good as it is, I don't think I'm a "prime" man. I think I'll stick to my 18-55 and 18-135. Both fantastic lenses.
Anybody want to buy an 18mm f2? I think it will be in the classifieds soon.
Great shot Adam @Adzman808 , this one works really well for me and good you've kept just a bit of light in the shadows.
George.
I haven't used it much, it's on my XT1, but so far it seems as sharp as the 18-55. I'll try and use it a bit more over the weekend and let you know what I think.What's your opinion on the 18-135 Allan?

Yeah I'm leaning towards the 56mm, some of the shots posted here from the 60mm have been stunning, but it seems my technique is lacking, so I think the faster focusing lens pips it for me. Where did you see them for "not big money" ? Digital rev have them on sale at £519
Thanks for that Peter, I think he's asking on the high side though.Jim, there's a used XF56mm in the classifieds here as we speak.
