  1. Maybe. OTOH it would be great when companies innovate more via (paid) software, than bringing out new hardware each time. I'd prefer a camera that I could keep for ten years, with the option to expand or update via software modules. Personally I do not want to sell, or trade in, my camera every three years.

    My daily shave

    Lovely! I wonder how many others are hidden in this community? Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk
  3. Milandro's assessment of the Dutch public is correct, I am afraid. You need a thick skin to engage in street photography here. Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk
  4. I've seen that, but I cannot think of a reason why I would need a X-T1, even at this price (other than satisfying my GAS ). So I'll still pass, I guess. Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk

    My daily shave

    I don't know if there are other classic shavers on board, but here's my today's shave. Pentacon 4/200, Fujifilm BW+Y film simulation, vignette applied in Picasa (umm yes). For those interested ... the razor (Fatip) and soap (TFS) are Italian (milandro will like this ), while the brush (Edwin Jagger) is English, and the Pitralon aftershave is from Germany. To complete the European trip, the blade (Rapira) was produced in Russia

  7. For me, there is. Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk
  8. Given my experiences with the clunky and heavy Praktica SLRs, I am not looking forward to that. Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk

    Brass band

    Venlo, Netherlands, with the Fujinon XF 27mm.
  10. Indeed. I find comparing the X-Pro1 to a range finder camera silly. If you want a comparison, then the X-Pro1 is closer to the Canon A20 compact camera than to whatever "Messsucherkamera". Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk
  11. I get a "Page not found" error message. Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk
  12. Looks like I have to save up.
  13. That is strange when you have it on manual. Sounds as an unlikely cause to me, but do you have the power saving options disabled?
  14. I made a quick shot with my Pentax SMC Takumar 3.5/35mm to show the rendering of the Pentax lens coating (and probably aging). Don't set the WB to Auto, of course, when you want to show the character of old glass. But in my opinion, the uniqueness of vintage lenses is one of the attractions. As another example, here's the same car (but with a bit cloudier sky) shot with my Pentax SMC Takumar 200/4. As a comparison, here is approximately the same scene, shot with the Fuji XC 50-230. It is clear that this is the sharper lens, with most contrast. But is that always the most important feature of a lens? Edit: SOOC JPEG, film simulation Std, other settings on neutral, besides sharpness (+1).
  15. Less for me. I'd rather have well laid out dedicated buttons than buttons I have to program myself. Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk
  16. Well, that sounds logical to me. Why display an option that is not available? Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk
  17. No issues with my Kipon adapter. Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk
  18. I would not even try Fujifilm's X-Pro1 case ... who designs a half case without a battery flap? They got it right for the X-E series, so why not for the X-Pro?
  19. I had a 18-55, and I never really warmed up to that lens. I'm very happy with the 18mm / 35mm combo instead. And indeed; the distortion correction (and resulting softness) can be much easier controlled in a RAW converter.
  20. That's true, and I am actually eagerly waiting for that lens! Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk
  21. If you want compact, and (future) flexibility, you might want to buy a X-E2(S) with a 27mm. Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk
  22. The easiest solution for that is using the X-Pro1 with the OVF, and the X-E1/2 for the other situations. The X-Pro1 EVF is not that good anyway, compared to the X-E cameras.
  23. Landgoed Beerschoten is an estate in the middle of the Netherlands, near Zeist. All shot with the 35/1.4 on the X-Pro1.
