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.

The awb on the xpro2 is fantastic. Sometimes it takes my 5D3 to the awb cleaners. I find that it's ability to translate awkward and uncorrectable color cast really very, very accurate.

Mine to is a 61A0 and I have not had that problem, thankfully.  I can't imagine the stress that must be for the wedding guys, right in the middle of the wedding.  I hope this gets worked out.

I too have to use the LCD screen to change ISO.  I can't read those small numbers.  Getting old sucks too.  

Those turned out great! its nice to see examples in less than ideal lighting.

Glad to see this work Rick and glad to see how good 18-55mm and 60mm might be in the proper hands.

I pre-ordered an X-Pro2 from Amazon and now have about 1,000 images or so under my belt.  This last weekend I attended the Alabama High School Rodeo for a few hours and decided to try the X-Pro2 shooting action.  What I had not counted on was the total crap (low, low) light.  The rodeo was held in the indoor arena in Montgomery.  It is decades old with horrible lighting.  I shot at 8,000 - 12,800 ISO for the entire time, inside.
 
The light was so dim I had to use my 60mm f2.4 Fujinon lens, wide open and could go no higher than 1/800th sec shutter speed.  This was not ideal.  I needed at least 1/1000th sec to stop the action but you do what you can.  Even with this exposure I am guessing I was about a full f-stop under what I needed.
 
I was totally blown away at how well the X-Pro2 performed.  I shot in Acros G and Classic Chrome simulations and shot only Jpeg.  My settings were -4NR, 0 HTone, -2 STone, +2 Color (CC) & +1 Sharpening.  I was in continuous focus, zone focus mode.  Take a look at my Blog Post for my impressions of the X-Pro2.  For much larger versions of the sample images check out my Flickr Page.
