Minimax got a reaction from Kentishrev in XF 14mm 2.8 - why not?
Have it - love it! It is an absolute underrated Gem in my book. 21 mm in 35mm format is about the best wide angle focal length to have a ballance between ultra wide and „just too wide“ for me. Has always been, even back in film days.
focus speed is more than adequate, absolutely nothing to complain.
IQ is one of the best, only matched or surpassed by the 90mm (comparing within the lenses I own only)
f2.8 is a no brainer - this is an ultra wide angle, who needs a faster f on an ultra wide angle....

Minimax got a reaction from Curiojo in Which 3 primes combo is your ideal setup?
I do have 18 and 35, was looking at the 56, but will go for 60.
Simply because this is a great lens which is very compact. AF speed is no isdue for me.
In the meantime I use a Zuiko 50, 1.4 via adapter - great lens

Minimax got a reaction from elmacus in XT-1 Firmware Should go to Xpro-1 too
Uriah Heep and Deep Purple are left well behind - but Led Zeppelin and Pink Floyd will never fall behind. Why?
Simple: They are true classics - and so is the X-PRO1
Yes, new Technology takes over, no question. But that doesn't make a classic a bad thing.
In this context I also wish for an update of the X-PRO1. Of course this has limits, if there are no PD Pixels on the sensor you can't put them on with a FW update, that's clear.
But classic chrome should work and I am sure some other features might work as well....
Having said that: It would be nice, but then again I don't really miss anything on my X-Pro 1

Minimax got a reaction from dhananel in My wish list for the successor of the X-Pro1!!
I don't.
I think that the pro platform is just not the right one to have vide capabilities like this.
Pana made it also clear and split between GH and G... for good reason I think.
T-T2 will have 4k (if Fuji can overcome the technical issues at all) and I guess that's good.
Having said this: I don't mind it at all, as long as it does not compromise the still shooting of the pro2

Minimax got a reaction from HowiePepper in second body
Like always it all depends how you use your stuff.
For me a second X-PRO1 would be a great choice (but I still wait for the PRO2...) - no interest at all in a T1, simply because I don't need it's features. As I try to avoid zooms as much as I can and the majority of my shooting is between 18 (maybe 14) and 60 mm - the optical viewfinder works perfect for me and all is great.
Your mileage may vary and of course if you need to use latest technology - the T1 is yours. But I for one have an iPhone 4s and an iPad mini 1st generation and could not be happier.... oh well, maybe I am a bad customer for the tech companies... :-)
