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 feel my X-S1 doesn't seem to be very popular but I was fortunate to purchase a very late model with none of the inherent faults and love it to bits and still learning from it.  

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.

Can you share why you would say that?
