Clearly 1:1 will be better than my 60, but I was thinking the OIS and the shallower depth of field may make it a competitor for the 56mm for portraits, better bokeh maybe and from calcs the same depth of field as a 56 at f1.2 at 3m. Just hope it's not huge and heavy.

The F2 lens trio is very popular. They sell very well and users like them.
 
That said, some of the "large, heavy and expensive" lenses also gained popularity in recent months, probably due to the availability of the X-T2.
 
The next area to fill will probably be video, seeing that there's currently no video-optimized lens in the line-up.
 
As for additional high-end lenses for still photography, I'm pretty sure we will eventually also see a few of those in 2018 and beyond. 

Hi,
 
I got the same set up as you, but earlier in the year, so I paid more.
 
I found the xt1 didn't feel so good in the hand which was totally subjective I know, but objectively the IQ was pretty much identical when I tested them side by side, so I bought the slower camera out of love.
 
I did note though that the Xt1 was more equipped to do video.
 
Anyway in real day to day use I have found the following:
 
- the auto iso is very useful as you can set limits so for example its default will be 200 but the auto can be set to let it rise to say 3200 when it needs to. Useful. But the master stroke is that you can also set the minimum shutter speed to say 1/60 of a sec. So then you can relax on the job in hand and know the camera will ensure you don't stray into either garbage iso settings or too slow shutter speed.
- the 27mm is super sharp
- the 18mm is a surprise, while reviewers will have you believe otherwise, trust me, used with care it is a nice piece of glass
- nothing new in stating that the 35mm is great, but I have found the 55-200mm to be a real jem... Ok weird on a rangefinder, but amazingly sharp and stable
 
So probably the only down side of the XPro1 vs many other cameras is speed. But that only really matters for spontaneous shots. I managed to get some epic surfing shots with the focus bang on at 200mm f4.8, so in the end, as with most things, the human part of the equation is likely to be the limiting factor.

I bought mine a week ago with the 18/27 lenses + the 35 f1.4 and the 60 for portraits.
 
I also shoot canon and am keeping my 70D for video work.
 
My initial impressions.
 
- weight great
- handling fantastic and really interesting with the optical / EVF, feels like a real camera again, like film
- the 35 is fantastically sharp wide open, minimal purple fringing if any + accurate focussing, unlike the Canon 85 F1.8 which incidentally can't hold a candle to the Fuji 60 either (this isn't anti Canon, I still love canon, the 85 is just a respected benchmark)
- the focussing is better than Canon for me IF the object is relatively still, the new firmware works
 
So yes I am delighted, the XPro1 is simply capable of taking wonderful images and is beautiful thing in every sense
 
I am sure the lenses out resolve the sensor, and I know soon the XPro2 will arrive and be even better, but let's face it, I am most likely the limit when it comes to what the camera can do, it seems to be on par with a Canon 5D mk2
 
So the Xpro 1 is still a great buy. Forgot to say the 18mm is a good lens worth having and the lens I would never have bought, the 27mm is fantastic, amazingly sharp and tiny
