The Official Fuji X Pro 1 Thread

minnnt said:
Some nice shots appearing in this thread. Never liked the X-Pro body. Always seemed massive but the colours really pop. I prefer the first X-Trans sensor over the other versions.

BTW @Cagey75 i think your Sparrow is a female Chaffinch. Nice shots too!

Are there any alternative to the Fuji Leather case? Because I'd like one to have a battery opening at the bottom, I know the Fuji one does not.

Like this, but not for £150 ! (after shipping and VAT)

Check out ebay :)
I prefer one of these
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Quick-Rel...118792?hash=item5b17ba7208:g:4ukAAOSwT6pV4EZD

It adds additional grip and bottom and side protection access to battery and SD card it will fit on any arca swiss style plate and also offers a standard 1/4 threaded screw receiver.

I think they are all nice, picked the brass one for the bare metal look and with the seahorse I can tell if it's lossen or not...although I'd wish it's sitting 90 degrees either way! But it won't tighten anymore and I'm not going to lossen it so sideway it is!

Ah! Good point on the loosening, wouldn't have thought of that! I think I'd be constantly checking it though in any case. I might just grab one at some point, I know you can get cheaper ones on amazon et al; but the ones you linked look proper nice quality

Do watch those uncovered strap rings - they'll scratch your lovely case in next to no time
 
First outing to Starbucks with the X-Pro 1. Bokeh is ok I guess.

Corner sharpness with the 23mm WR is impressive, the LCD lets it down though as it looks way soft on the back of the camera which gives me doubts. CA is present but minimal, very little actually.

To answer my own question, I got a +2 from Robert White (Voigtlander brand) and it works perfectly with my specs. (I dislike having to take them off for photography).
And I'm really enjoying using this alongside my X-T2, though it is more susceptible to camera shake on non-stabilised lenses. It's a pearl with the 18-55.

To be honest, I can't really remember what I was talking about, it's so long since I wrote it! However, I don't believe that the X-Pro range is as balanced with longer lenses due to it not resting against my face centrally. Just a matter of getting used to it and compensating accordingly.

Can't say I've noticed any issues, but I tend not to rely on the OVF for accuracy of placement.

Average price. It's a more "immersive" shooting experience, and not for those who want/need the quickest focussing. But in real terms it's not bad. Guarantee it will put a smile on your face if you've any soul.
