  1. It does! Actually, I still haven't had the chance to thank you Adam. Your blog was quite an interesting and entertaining reading, and certainly one of the reasons I chose to buy the x-pro1 ! Any other advice?
  2. Hello everyone! I just bought one of the last refurbished X-Pro1s around for less than 300€. Everything looks perfect outside, but since I'm new to the Fuji world, could you tell me what are the first thing to check and adjust on this God-sent beauty? Thanks!
  3. I don't know whether it is going to get worse, or stay as it is. And I also don't know what difference the eventual therapy will make. I just know that I need to learn to use the left eye, cause the right one just can't see well. I compensate with my left eye when I use both eyes, but with just the right eye it is pretty hard for me to see in focus. I will definitely try a xPro soon in order to feel it. Thanks!
  4. Anyway, good to know there are a lot of left-eye shooters not concerned about the rangefinder-styled X-Pro2. I don't know why, but it's always seemed natural to me to put my right eye on the viewfinder, especially if the camera is a rangefinder.
  5. I have been waiting a long time for my first Fuji camera, and during the past months I got pretty excited about the X-Pro2. Soon I am going to graduate, and will have both the money and the time to buy and use the new camera. However, from last November my right eye sight started to get worse. The eye doctor said it was probably keratoconus, a structural change of the cornea, and the diagnosis got confirmed some days ago after a proper exam. I have keratoconus on both eyes, and although it is somewhat curable, I expect this issue to take a lot of my time and patience. I'll have another exam in 6 months to see if it get worse, and then we will decide what to do. My left eye works almost prefectly, although it could get worse too (I hope not). It is important to notice that this issue is not resolvable through glasses or diopter adjustment. With my right eye I see everything out of focus, near or far, and glasses do not change that, they just alleviate the annoyance and the eye strain. So, I have always used my right eye to view through the viewfinder as it seemed pretty normal to me. However, it seems to me that the position of the viewfinder in the xpro2 suggest a use of the right eye. Should this prevent me from buying one, and maybe give a chance to the X-T series? Are there any left-eye shooters using a X-Pro series? Thanks in advance for the answers.
  6. I can't find the real size of the viewfinder of the xpro2. I own a Canon 600D and I wanted to know if the viewfinder of the xpro2 is bigger or smaller. Anyone can help?
  7. I completely agree. After the first excitement when I got into the photography world now I actually don't care about equipment anymore... And well, I don't have money to always buy the last camera/lens. One needs to just go out and shoot, especially when he's not a professional photographer and should not care about many technical aspects of the equipment. Anyway, as I said, I'm fond of the rangefinder style and for now I think I'm going for the xpro1. Probably with the 18 and 35 to start off. Price less than 1k euro with cashbacks
  8. The xpro1 is pretty cheap nowadays. You can get it new for around 400euro
  9. I've been warned. But still, coming from a Canon 600D I doubt I will have something to complain about the AF or the overall processing etc. The x100T is cool, but I don't know if it is the best choice now, considering my savings and other things
  10. I think I'll go for the xpro1. Good deals here in Italy with cashbacks until the end of July. Don't need to wait for the xpro2 which for what I know could be available in one year or more and very pricey. I can keep the xpro1 for a long time and then move to the xpro2 if it will be worth it in a couple of years ( when maybe I'll have the money too). Now I just have to decide the lens(es)....
