I am very curious: did you ever do the same test and keeping the upper and left frame-lines as a reference and what were the results?

Hi! I confirm that I have the same "error" in relation to my X-Pro1 in combination with the 35mm/2.0 and also with the 50mm/2.0 (see my other comment(s) on this page). Funny thing is: the frame you see in the OVF compared to reality becomes more accurate when the subject distance becomes shorter and parallax correction becomes stronger! Another thing I noticed: when making pictures on "infinite" (let's say more then 10 meters) and keeping left and upper frame-lines as reference, the actual result for the left and upper is almost accurate, while at right and even more at the bottom a lot of surface is added. This is strange, because taking into account that the OVF just reflects 85-90% of the total view, you would expect that you would get some additional surface in the final result at the left and the upper frame-lines as well. Did anyone make some test pictures with the 50mm/2.0 and/or the 35mm/2.0 and getting same (annoying) results?

Have read all the interesting remarks about the OVF on the X-Pro1. I own the camera and I am very, very pleased with it, because it INVITES to be used, cannot let it lay down in my room....it INVITES FOR GOING SHOOTING!!! About this parallax and inaccuracy issues of the OVF: 1. This 85 or 90% coverage is not a big deal and you get used to it easily and in practice it means simply you have pictures which have some more registered surface then you were thinking when taking the photo. Easy to adjust in post processing or do some "automatic" correction during shooting already, but a far more annoying issue (and so curious others have the same trouble): 2. found out that the bottom of the pictures contains much more registered surface then the additional surface at the right, left and upper frame lines (because of limited coverage). Very annoying, because the bottom line becomes unreliable as a reference in relation to the final composition. In practice you gonna use the upper frame-line as reference for the composition and you must taking into account that the camera will register more at the bottom then as indicated in the OVF all the time. Are here any users who can confirm this and maybe found some "tricks" to tackle this annoying problem? (or my particular camera has a problem?)

The ONLY issue to consider will be: do I need this 1.2 aperture including the bokeh which is related to this f value. So: very simple....! (assuming -of course- the 2.0 lens will be same optical quality at the 1.2.)
