    Mistik-ka reacted to frankinfuji in 35mm f2 vs f1.4   
    Now that's the key point of difference. The f2 employs the laws of physics to produce a compact, high quality lens, whereas the f1.4 uses magic. A friend at Fuji Japan told me in confidence that Fuji use glass from the Eye of Sauron for the front element of the 1.4. I'm certainly not parting with my precious f1.4.

    In six months time you will have a much better idea of whether you're happy as an (almost) all-prime shooter. When you can't fall back on the easy solution of using the 18-35 you'll be forced to find out what you and the primes can achieve.
     
    No one will die as a result of your zoom-privation, and I expect you'll learn a lot. Have fun!

    Mistik-ka got a reaction from dfaye in A Newbie Question   
    Lightroom CC and Photoshop CC both handle Fuji raw and compressed raw files with ease. Some people are dissatisfied with Adobe's conversion of raw files to PSD/TIFF/JPG, especially because of smearing highly detailed areas with repeating pattern such as leaves and grass; others don't consider it a real-world problem because it shows up mostly on extreme enlargements or when "pixel-peeping" on screen. Both sides have support among very accomplished photographers, and the on-line debates use up a great deal of time which might have been spent making photographs.
     
    After a year of use, my X-Pro2 continues to give me enormous pleasure, and I am rarely dissatisfied with Lightroom.
