This exact thing happens randomly to me on the xpro1. I find if I push the lens onto the body a bit harder it stops it. To me it seems like a problem with the contacts on the lens and on the body.

Yes, real tethering. Not some half assed solution that some jr engineer comes up on a Sunday morning before breakfast that is so poorly implemented as to be an embarrassment for Fuji.

I recently sold a XPro1 on Craigslist and I said something like this. "I think it's pretty silly that people want the box the camera comes in so here's what I'll do. This is the price for the camera, if you want the box it's going to be $50 more. Same camera but if you feel it's a better camera with the box then you'll have to pay." Got some nasty replies from people for questioning their psychological need for the box. Ended up selling it to a person that said he couldn't care less if it had a box or not.

I think equal parts of Photography and Photoshop before taking each shot. To me, no Photoshop, almost no photography at this point. I'm always pre-thinking of how I am going to use Photoshop before I shoot something. Let's take this finished shot. It's a screenshot by the way and I boosted up on a curve so you can see them better. And then the raw files I took of the bottle so I could composite later on. The background was chosen by the client. You can see in #58 I was using a fill card in the shot only to light up the word Darioush better than I could in the other exposures. It's way things are done now. Yes, I could light the old way, I did that from 1982 -2001 exposing tens of thousands of sheets of 8x10 and lighting it the old fashioned ways. But then you could only do one or two of those a day. You'd spend half a day lighting one bottle, rush a sheet of film to the lab, wait an hour to see it and if it was good then you'd move onto the second shot of the day. If it wasn't then you'd light some more, rinse and repeat. This way, you shoot an exposure quickly and easily for only a portion of what you need knowing you'll build up the shot like that. Photoshop is nothing more or less then any other tool I need.

The first image is one I take on travels around the world. Sketchbooks and the X 100S. The others photos are for the bag I carry around here. It only holds exactly what I want it to hold. Nothing more.

But you need to know which diopter you need and it's not too easy to know which one. If you go to the other Fuji x website and go to X-Pro1 forum there's a link to resources that talk about it. Not sure if it's cool to cross links here.

So I'm thinking the X-Pro2 will be exactly $1699 in the US since B&H is giving a gift certificate for that amount? In effect someone gets the camera for free.

Your second link shows up as "page not found"

So is the little hammer hitting this in the right place? http://www.nytimes.com/2015/09/23/business/big-price-increase-for-an-old-drug-will-be-rolled-back-turing-chief-says.html?_r=0

Little stories aside, $60 is a rip.

$60.00! That's ripping a new one at that price. For a stick with some sticky stuff on the end?

I've always felt that the use of acronyms by people are a way to differentiate themselves from the commoners. I really don't like acronyms on forums unless they would almost be universaly known by a near 100%. If they aren't that well known, then you're just showing off.

Pretty sure the OP knows the responses so far. I agree with him. At the distance he shot his test shot, the framing should be more accurate in a modern camera.

I must make amends for the post two up from here. It seems the real culprit was the battery charger. Borrowed another one from a friend and the "dead" Watson came back to life!
