  1. One minute he is knocking Leica then in another he is recommending them. No consistency so I just read his tests occasionally just for a laugh. If I had followed his advice I would have a very odd outfit.
  2. I have the 60mm and find it to be very sharp with great colour and contrast even at f2.4. I purchased it for macro but since owning it have used it for landscape and some portraiture and I have found the results excellent on everything.I think at its current price it is excellent value and is a very versatile lens.
  3. I took a punt on this lens as it was on offer at Amazon new for £240 and I love using it. The results regarding colour and contrast are lovely even at f2. Yes it has a few optical flaws but most are caused by in camera corrections and can be bypassed by some raw converters. You get to know the flaws and work around them if you need to. I think that it is a great little lens and is on my Fuji camera a lot. Great results and nice definition for me anyway.
  4. The aperture ring is unmarked because the lens varies the aperture as it is zoomed.
  5. I agree, the jpgs out of the X pro2 are superb and are the ones that I use most of all. They very rarely need adjusting much and if they do they seem to take it much better than previous cameras that I have owned.
  6. I shoot raw&jpg because it then gives me the best of both worlds. I have the negative (raw) and the print (jpg) at the same time. For smallish prints and putting on the web the jpg is fine and the jpg's from the X pro2 are a fairly big file so will take adjustments a lot better. For large prints, heavy crops, big dynamic range I use the raw as this gives the greatest flexibility. The X pro2 generates excellent jpg's and I tend to use those the most often but as like in the old film days it's always best to keep the negatives. The other advantage with shooting both is that I can make another jpg in camera with whatever film setting that I want and with settings to correct exposure or dynamic range, I often take a shot in Acros and then do a camera raw conversion in colour as well and end up with a negative (raw) a monochrome (jpg) and a colour (jpg). The flexibility is excellent and I always then have the negative (raw) to do what I want with in software.
