Hi everybody,
First thread ! After using and loving my X-PRO1 for half a year I came to dive in the functions I use rarely only.
Surprisingly enough, I use the EVF/LCD practically 100% of the time !
Time and again I encountered users passionately defending their need for the optical viewfinder OVF of course expecting Fuji to carry it over to an X-PRO2.
I found that a bit strange because I just find that OVF to be totally unprecise.
But maybe it´s just my specimen so I give you something to compare with your experience... See the attached pic.
That picture is totally random and awful to look at so you can concentrate on the facts:
I had aligned the post and the edge of the road with the bottom and right framelines of the OVF- look what I got !
Meanwhile, the top and left edges of the picture are as close as I expected from experience with my Leica M6 from the early 2000s- totally useable.
Is this what I can expect from any X-PRO1/XF35 combo or is this too much ?
I cannot find a technical reason why the LCD framelines on this camera shouldn´t be much more exact than with a Leica M- the electronics have all the data (distance, focal lenght, camera orientation etc) to do a better job than the mechanical rangefinder, right ?
This thing doesn´t spoil my X-PRO1 experience at all- that´s the camera I settled right in with (size, IQ, lenses, "feel"), but I´m close to having it serviced just to find out about that OVF...
