Hi folks.
So i'l try and keep this brief. I've been an active photographer for about 15 years. After getting my B.A. I shot for a living working for music labels etc. I have been out of the game for a couple of years now and I am finally thinking about picking up a camera again. I have always been a Canon shooter, primarily 5D Classics as it was all I ever needed along with 50 and 85mm lenses. Ever since the Fuji X series arrived I have been in love with the way they look as I was always a fan of the good old days running around with my Yashica GTX. I do not have the funds to buy the latest Fuji X models so I have been researching the xpro1 ( and also xe1 although the bigger sized body is more appealing to me ). I am not needing fast autofocus as I mainly do portraits and this seems to be the main thing that people see as a downside with these cameras. The thing I like about the 5D classic is the creamy and somewhat 3D effect that it produces and I am wondering if this is something i can achieve with the Fuji if I combine the correct lenses? The 5D because of its size always feels reassuring on shoots - does anyone have experience of doing portrait shoots with the XPro1? I would appreciate any opinions, good or bad. Thank you in advance.
