  1. Purchased an X-Pro2 Graphite with the 23 mm lens, then bought a mint condition used 18mm earlier this year. We are going on a big trip next year, so I'm considering another lens to also bring on the trip. (Maybe 55-140 or 55-200 or 16-55? It's hard to decide). But I'm very happy with the X-Pro2 and the lenses I have so far.
  2. Well, I read all the posts on this topic, and it's not clear to me if there will be a version II of the 18 f2 or not. But, I bought an X-Pro 2 Graphite kit with the 23mm f2 lens from B&H since so much of the Fuji product is on sale. (It arrived on Saturday.) So today I found a Mint- used 18mm for sale at an online camera dealer I've ordered from in the past, for quite a reduced price over a new one. I always liked shooting with a 27mm on my 35mm cameras. I'm new to the Fujifilm universe, but I've been reading thru the camera manual, getting used to the menu settings, and updated the firmware to 4.01. I think it's really great that Fuji updates their firmware as often as they do. Can't say I've had any other brand of camera that did that. So I think I'll really enjoy shooting with the 23mm and 18mm on the X-Pro 2. Steve
  3. I'm Steve and I've had photography as a hobby for over 40 years now (which means, yes, I'm pretty darn old...) Have shot everything from 35mm film, to medium format film to digital. I still do some film photography, as I enjoy it, but I just ordered a Fujifilm X-Pro2 with the 23mm f2 lens from B&H Photo. Should arrive on Monday. In addition to photography I have a motorcycle and ride when I can. Been married for 46 years to a wonderful woman, who unfortunately cannot ride on the back of the motorcycle any longer because she has arthritis and suffers too much the days after a ride. So I don't put a lot of miles on that any longer (no more long trips) but it's still fun to ride with friends just around Minnesota or Wisconsin when I can. I own a 2010 BMW R1200GS that I expect to own until I can no longer ride. When I was in the service my wife and I lived in Germany for 6 years, and we did a lot of traveling thru Europe on the BMW motorcycle I owned back then (late 70s). I retired from a job in IT at the end of last year, and now we hope to travel quite a bit. I think the X-Pro2 should be a great camera for that.
