I found my way into mirrorless cameras on a whim, wanting to see what all the fuss was about. It was my good fortune that I chose a used Fuji, an E-X2. I have purchased a lot more Fuji equipment in the last two years and love every piece. I recently purchased an 80mm macro and was pretty underwhelmed by it. Great lens, but I didn't really have the need for it. I returned it and asked for an X-100f to replace it. Wow. This little wonder has transformed my photography. I'll continue to use my X-H1 and X-Pro2, but this small, ultra lightweight camera is a real delight to use. The fixed 35mm lens requires that I think more about subject distance and composition. It requires a different mindset (for me at least) and I love the resulting photos. Built-in TTL flash is great for fill, all the manual controls are a wonder, too. I'm tending to play more in the menus than I have done in my other cameras. Not sure why. I haven't been this excited about a camera in a couple of decades. Anyway, I've read a lot of great press on this camera, and I can see what all the fuss is about. Here are ten shots from last weekend:

Have two XE-2 bodies and 3 lenses. Love the camera with one exception.......VERY annoyed that neither of them nor XE-3 has not added the flip up and down rear screen.

Great photos and I totally understand your excitement. When I got my X100s a few years ago, it totally transformed my interest in photography from mainly vacation shooting to active photography with planned photo shoot trips. My excitement still continues. I later got a X100F and had my S converted to infrared. Now I carry both.

Took this yesterday morning.

New poster, just got rid of all my photographic equipment and picked up an X100S in the hope of rekindling my interest in the hobby and bringing back a bit of immediacy to my work, ruined over years of SLR and slow mirrorless options. Really liking the camera for street work so far. Ten recent favourites, all taken in Newcastle upon Tyne in the last two weeks. I hope my usual hotlinking works and I'm not breaking any forum rules..
