After a life of GAS I now calmed down and I concentrate more on what I really want out of the photos I shoot. Doing this with the Xpro1 in manual mode got me much further then all the years I spend in the company of Canon's and Nikon's which I used in aperture priority and af. The original lazy AF of the Xpro1 brought me manual focus, over time the cameras limitation took away my own. I often use the back-button focus, check - fine focus manual and shoot. A great way of taking photographs if time is available. If not I pre-focus f5.6 and snap. When I invest now it's in prime glass and also very limited, I have to drive myself so far that the focal length becomes a part of my brain. After 30years of good quality zoom lenses, my lazy eye still couldn't see the picture quite right before I had put the camera to my eye. This improved a lot with my prime babies, today I see photograph's where ever I go, it's like i'm taking pictures all the time. The photos I really take, show it and bring me that smile on my face ! As far as gas is concerned I'll buy a Xpro2 when the Xpro1 brakes down, when ever this will be.

I've been using the Pro1 with the 35mm since the beginning of 2013, last year i went to completely to manual focus, use the af-l/ae-l button to pre focus once you get used to it the accuracy problem is solved.
