  1. Dr. Nipun, If you have not resolved your doubts yet, a legacy manual lens is a very attractive alternative. I use Canon FD lenses with the corresponding adaptor. They are quality optics, and while they aré inexpensive, there Is nothing "cheap" about them. Go for a 50mm F1:1,4, or a 85mm f1:1,8. they Willy give you equivalences to 75 and 127mm, which are ideal portrait focal lengths, plus the pleasure of manual handling.
  2. I found a Fotasy UV filter and a Hama lens cap that fit perfectly at 40mm.
  3. Peterh, what exactly is so demanding in your (mainly) portrait photography that the X Pro 1 is not up to? For what you tell us, your lenses are not exactly what a portraitist would use. I would understand if you said the AF isn't fast enough (for portraits? Hmm.), or that the camera has some unresolved quirks. But IQwise, the X Pro 1 remains an instrument of supreme quality and ease of use. Ask yourself what individual feature would be your compelling need --that a Sony might or migh not posess-- that would force you to dump your Fuji and not wait another while for the X Pro 2? What outweights the pleasure of using a Fuji X vs the flavorless nintendo-type of squarish plastic with electronics? If you still use the marvelous Contax G, you are not the GAS type.
  4. ... But you can't go back once you installed it.
  5. Pedro, a Canon lens is not an M lens. M is the mount for Leica lenses, and only for Leica lenses.
  6. Ah, the X10! It was my third Fuji, but my first X. I still absolutely love it. I did not upgrade to the X20 and X30. I deemed that the X20 was not significantly better (as a matter of fact some users consider the IQ of the X10 better), and to be frank, I do not quite like the design of the X30. Meanwhile I have a X-T1 and three lenses, but I keep coming back to the X10. Absolutely beautiful camera. It was the main reason I fell in love with photography again. With half-case, soft-touch release, 40mm filter (and eventually the dedicated lens hood) it looks even more beautiful. I will use until the first of us dies.
  7. I bought my first camera in 1986. None of the many cameras that followed her were weatherproof. I have taken pictures in three continents under the most varied weather conditions, and none of my cameras have ever stopped working because of rain, snow, freeze, or sand. If photographers have coped sans weatherproof since 1839, why should it become a "must-have" feature now? Not many photogs really need that feature, and there are all kinds of camera covers for those who need them.
  8. Patrick, the merits of the 10-24 are evident. The cons: at f:4 the corners are noticeably soft. At 5.6 the problem is completely solved. Plus, it is big. However, I love it and have hardly taken out of my XT-1 since I bought it last February.
