I actually think it looks awesome. The OP is obviously an artist. What he does with his gear should be his business. Calling the camera a 'fraud'...really? Does that mean all the pics he takes are fraudulent images? Lol. I'm loving my x70 more every day and if I had his skills I might take a crack at personalizing mine as well. Thanks for sharing that @fujiglitch.

I don't shoot a lot of street stuff but the Acros option caused me to snap a few the other day. Shot on xpro2

did you scratch up the LCD screen too?? lmao.  

I always wondered why the images from the 16-55 looked slightly harsh, until I found out that the lens suffers severely from CA. Those CA get automatically corrected in LR and leave white edges which made for a harsh look.
 
I sold mine after a year of much use. I prefer the look of the primes any day. Not because of the larger aperture but because how clean the images look.

If you're shooting for fun, you could always take less lenses Less desire to swap that way. I usually take a 23 or a 35 and that'll do.
 
The 16-55 is slower, but image quality is still good/great, as long as you don't need ultra fast apertures. For me, the weight is the biggest issue.

In some aspects, for instance when shooting at f/5.6, the 16-55 mm  is better than the 16mm.
In order to compare the 16 and 56 mm versus 16-55 mm I find this a good site:

http://www.imaging-resource.com/lenses/fujinon/xf-16mm-f1.4-r-wr/review/
 
http://www.imaging-resource.com/lenses/fujinon/xf-56mm-f1.2-r/review/
 
If you don't need anything faster than f/2.8 I can highly recommend the 16-55mm. When shooting RAW you do need to have a RAW converter utilizing automated lens corrections (CaptureOne, Adobe, Silky, RFC), taking care of pincushion, barrel and chromatic distortions.

I recently moved from Micro Four Thirds to an X-Pro2 and I absolutely love the images I've been getting. But I missed having a small bodied camera that was easy to carry everywhere. I was hesitant about the X70 because of the lack of viewfinder and the 28mm equivalent focal length. Based on the great reviews I had read online, I tried the Sony RX100 IV but found it awkward to hold with image quality that was not nearly as good as I expected. So I returned it the next day. After striking out with the Sony, I decided to give the X70 a try. I've had it for a few days now, but the weather has been dreary in Philadelphia all week, and I wasn't really able to put the X70 to the test until today. After a couple hours walking around South Street, I'm really pleased with the camera and the images I'm getting from it. It's very easy to shoot one handed, quick to focus and I only missed a few shots. It's great for street photography because no one seemed to take any notice of me. And I didn't miss the viewfinder at all. Here's a few images from today.

There is no way to tell if these were shot with an X-Pro2 or a "full frame" DSLR.  Excellent!  Very well done!!

Thanks. I used a simple 3 light setup. I had a 1'x3' strip box with a grid (vertical) on either side of the players and a small octabox (with grid) to fill their face. The lights I used on this were the Baja b4's from dynalite. I used the dynalite trigger as well. We were on the road for 9 days and the whole setup worked well.
 
I did rent a backup xpro2 just in case anything went wrong. But my personal cam worked like a champ.

Thanks for the response .

Okay....tough getting in the field with these guys.
 
Looks great! XPro2 does the job! Well done!

awesome series!

These are great! I love the lighting too. Really well done
 
May I ask your setup for these? Lights, triggers, and what not?

But... but that's impossible, the X-Pro2 isn't capable of taking pictures... how did you? It's not even Full Frame! And everyone knows the 56 can't focus!

Very well done!
