nice shot ben. it reminds me of a high resolution monet.

People talk about the "smudgy" or "painted" look of some Raw Conversions but this is ridiculous.

shooting a wedding with these two lenses mainly tomorrow.

Well this is how i see it.... without shooting any of the other brands down... Sony, Olympus, canon etc.

If an company releases a camera that has an amazing Sensor, but terrible ergonomics... would you sacrifice use for the sensor? that was my issue with Sony! While i loved the images that came out of it, i really Hated using the camera.... The Olympus was WOW.... amazing and i still love it... once i played with my buddy's X-T1 i just wanted to switch. Just Because... That being said, if i decide to switch from Fuji, i would go back to the Oly.

these cameras have souls, the Sony doesn't. (My Opinion)

If you really hate the ergonomics, then there's indeed no point in keeping the camera. It's the same reason why I could never use a Nikon DSLR. Sony indeed doesn't have soul, they are just an electronics company and every new camera of them feels like "another device". But they sure do deliver on the image quality part like no one else does. My Canon also has "soul", yet its image quality and AF problems are starting to irritate me so much, that I'm willing to take image quality above soul.

This Fuji has a Soul....

Whats the major difference between the X-T1, X-Pro1 and the X-E1? I've looked at the specs on the Fuji website but they seem very similar when I compare them.

After using my D800 for the past several months I am just as comfortable with it as any of the Canon bodies I previously owned. I actually have liked the few mirrorless bodies I have had a chance to use as well. Once you get past acclimating yourself to the different control layouts on each body they are quite easy to use from what I've found.

Tommy the differences are HUGE.... ive owned the X-Pro1... Super Slow to focus..... the X-e! suffered from the same thing.

The X-T1 has a HUGE EVF and Much Much Much faster focus!

Some still prefer the optical viewfinder and rangefinder styling of the X-Pro 1. The only experience I've had with Fuji is my X-T1 that I dumped my 5D II and L glass for, and couldn't be happier.

Compared to a 5d2 how slow are we talking?

damn, that's pretty substantial in size, but I'm sure it weighs substantially less than a DSLR kit.

That glass is 56 f/1.2, the Lens hood is huge... lol but the images are delicious!

David those look awesome. I don't think I want to replace my Canon kit, I was thinking about a x100s but for that much money I feel something like an X-E1 with the 18 or 27 plus the 35 or 56 would make a great small kit for casual stuff. Basically replacing my G15 and maybe my 60D.

I must admit I like that rangefinder look.

I have not left the house without my x100s since I bought it in April. Its changed my photography so profoundly I cannot describe it. I highly recommend the x100s (well, might as well wait for the x100T) if you are ok with the fixed focal lens

Shot through a train window on the way to Gstaad. Thanks to the CPL, I only got a little glare.

Got a deal for a 2nd hand X-T1 + 1855 kitlens for about €1.000. Should I go for it?

Seeing as how ppl missed your post, I would personally say yes that's a really good deal. But I guess it will also depend on your style of shooting. I used to own the 18-55 lens and although it impressed me everytime I used it, I would always keep reaching for my 35mm as my go to lens, mainly because I shoot wide open and can't make up my mind on focal lengths haha.


Anyways, here is something from last week. Taken with the X-T1 + Nikon 105mm + LED light.
