@Herco could you please provide any advice about primes on the XP2? I am thinking to start with the older 23mm F1,4, then a 14 perhaps F2.8, then a 35 (not sure which one) and a 90mm F2. New to Fuji, but have really good things bout some of these lenses. I am aware that some f1.4 would be covering part of the OVF, but not sure how important would that be, as I still do not have the camera.

@Herco Thank you and very much and highly appreciate your advice. Definitely going for that (used) XP2, mainly because it is a great camera (plus all the facts mentioned by you), but also as I like the rangefinder style of camera and that will inspire me to shoot more! Funny that you mention this XT3, I was searching for an XT3 before I discovered the XP series :), but I guess going for the coolness factor, I admit (almost happy the Leicas are out of my budget, at least I keep telling myself so).

Hi All, I am looking for an entry in to the wonderful Fuji ecosystem. So far I started with Nikon D40 and was stupid enough to go to Canon 5D (nightmare ergonomically, even if great otherwise). As a result I've been shooing on and off, almost gave up on photography due to the bulk, weight and feel of the camera (even if pictures and video were good!) I am looking for a Fuji camera mainly for stills, street and landscape, with the rangefinder looks and I love film character and respective simulations . I also love old MF lenses with character (e.g. the Helios 44-M, Zeiss Contax and others) and would definitely love to use them on the new camera and just keep developing as a (hobbyist) photographer. I am considering the X-Pro2 because of both the relatively affordable price and good value for money compared to X-Pro3 (not to mention for some the XP2 is better than XP3 and maybe the XP1 even better ...). Ultimately my choice is amongst XP2 used (around 600USD excellent cosmetically with 13000 actuations - is this too much and risky for longevity of the camera), XP2 new (1200 USD, new but a few years old) or XP3 new (1600 USD - quite expensive, would rather spurt on some new glass, also not entirely sure if the system would be better for MF lenses compared to XP2, and maybe even XT3...). Thanks in advance for any advice, greatly appreciated! Cheers, Dimiter
