  1. I use the X-Pro for the viewfinder. That's its reason for being. It's what makes it unique.
  2. Typically, you'd choose amongst the three big ones: Lightroom, Capture One, or DxO Photo Lab. They're not cheap, but they're popular for a reason. Or try the free Darktable or Rawtherapee, but you'll have to check whether the X-T5 is supported yet. (By downloading the software and opening one of your files. They're free, after all.)
  3. I bought the X-Pro2 for the optical viewfinder, and that's what I use it for most of the time. A single prime lens, an X-Pro2 on a strap, that's quintessential photography to me. Thus, for most situations, it's 100% OVF. For zooms or very wide lenses, I use an X-T3 with its electronic viewfinder instead. The only time I use the X-Pro2's EVF is when I go on an explicit photography excursions with the 16-80/X-T3 and 70-300/X-Pro2. But those occasions are rare. (As a fun diversion, I occasionally use the 70-300 with the OVF for tracking birds. It's kind of useful to be able to see outside the frame when you try to keep a small, fast-moving object in frame) On the other hand, I tend to use the back screen kind of a lot, maybe 50/50 with the OVF.
  4. Somehow, the 35 f/1.4's magic never appealed to me, even though I use it regularly. But to my eyes, it's "merely" an incredibly compact, but optically slightly compromised 35mm lens. The (old) 23 f/1.4 and 60 f/2.4, on the other hand, I find absolutely lovely. (Actually, my true magic lens was the Sony RX1's, although mated to a less appealing body. The 23 f/1.4 is the closest I've ever come to recreating that magic.)
  5. Yes, thank you! I've been a semi-active user over there for a few years already.
  6. Hi everyone, here's another DPReview refugee from Germany.
