Put a cross

Too old to remember when I first picked up a camera, cut my teeth on 5x4, 120,35mm with every name of camera you can think of. Been using digital since 2000 currently have FF and FujiX. Each day I see forums and rumour sites salivating at the latest peice of kit, faster AF more MP etc, Well bucking the trend of GAS infection relating to the latest x,s which are here and will come I bought a third X1pro, yes it has it's flaws but having used Leica for 30 years, I can tell you by experience, prints made ( oh now what is a print ah yes one of those quaint replications of an Instagram image) and money made the X1pro is a solid reliable high quality camera capable of superb results when used with Fuji lenses. I watched the building orgasm as the release of firmware 4 came out, HOW MANY PEOPLE NEED THAT FACILITY and did it suddenly turn them into the greatest photographer of all time? I am lucky to have all I need even though the FF cameras are now 7 years old their 24MP still delivers A2 prints without much effort, I have two XEs with 10-24, 55-200 and 27mm and the 3 X1pros are paired with 14/35/56 and for good luck an X100s. The equipment earns its place in my bags by hard work and rewards with great quality. I read an article recently in which a group of professional photographers who all use Fuji X were asked if money was not important what would they buy, they almost all said Leica, to me that would be a big mistake, beautifully made and looking, unreliable and overpriced, I would stick with Fuji again and again. Oh and yes FF versus mirrorless is meaningless, I would not try to do with an X1pro what I do with a glass conventional optical viewfinder and vica versa. Well I guess I am a grumpy old photo.
