how much would you sell the X Pro 1 for?
Very Little.
Use it, the camera is not dead.

Some great images in the link. But definitely one for the dust-proof X-T1/2 and Pro bodies.

Aswald got a reaction from Velvia in Fujifilm XF 55-200mm F/3.5-F/4.8 or XC 55-230mm F/4.5-F/6.7?
XC is sharp but dim, light and plastic.
XF is more versatile photographically but heavier. Well built. One of my favorite lens. At long end, very decent bokeh under the right conditions.

Aswald got a reaction from mvlow in Need help choosing third prime lens
From what I know, most people who have the 23 usually don't use the 35 much after that. It also signify which photography they shoot more. You'll be able to tell yourself. More environmental portrait / streetscape or 50mm portrait.
Depending on whether you shoot interiors or landscape, I'd recommend the 14 F2.8 or the Samyang 12mm.
The 16, while it's a beautiful lens, isn't quite wide enough for landscape, too wide to portrait unless you really want to go for the unique look.

Aswald reacted to milandro in Printing - Does the extra 8mp make a difference?
We are talking of differences appreciable on prints.
I doubt that any appreciable difference can be seen even in high quality printing, though, perhaps, not in monitor staring at a test.
On the other hand one can stare to meditate.
Omphaloskepsis is a meditation technique where one reaches a deep meditative state through looking, at extreme length, to one’s navel. The modern version has to be the monitor ( and it puts a lot less strain on the neck).
From wikipedia...

Aswald got a reaction from Pompo in Two (2) Reasons Why the AF-Tracking of the X-T2 (and X-Pro2 Ver.2.00) is Much Better Than on the X-T1!
I'm not really sure either.
I'm thinking it could be down to high accuracy of the af point/exposure. Case in point, I use the smallest af square and as I tracked, say a face, the af square will hover over say, nose, mouth, eye brow, etc..... That could cause the shift in exposure, even though I personally think it shouldn't make so much difference.
The difference between each picture in the burst could be a 1/3rd stop different from the subsequent pic. It could be brighter or darker at random. In a series of 6 shots, maximum difference in exposure is 1/3rd stop. Like a random collection of -1/3, 0, +1/3.
I'll probably try to mount the camera on a tripod and test it on a static object. Will update results then.

Enjoy the X-Pro1. It's just as good.

It's like watching a 10 fps stop motion picture. You'll get used to it after a while. Initially, I ended up watching the motion picture and forgot about tracking the subject after a few bursts...
All in all, it tracks exceptionally well. Only anomaly I found which did not really exist (dslr) is the exposure difference between each shot within the burst. They may be about 1/3rd stop difference between shots. It's a little unusual when you view the contact sheets of all the shots.

Aswald got a reaction from Mike G in X-T2 + Carl Zeiss = Sports Illustrated
Haha....don't we all.
If it's any consolation at work I'm still picking out mistakes made by my staff. Half of which may be mentally fatigued from late night internet browsing, gaming, movie watching, social media, fb, WhatsApp, pokemon Go and what have you......
So, it's really more of mental fatigue than anything else.

Aswald reacted to HendrikOsula in Rio de Janeiro Olympics with Fujifilm
Hi! As the games has begun, I thought it would be good idea to start a topic and maybe find other photographers at the Olympics, who use Fujifilm. Also I'll be posting pictures taken with my X-Pro2, so feel free to comment!

Aswald got a reaction from FX Admin in Is there another forum of similar name?
I think the best rule to follow is be at whichever site you're comfortable in.
Different forums give you different experiences.

So that's the real Top Secret Project Fuji was working on..
btw... if you go to Photokina, I think Fuji will have some of these nice little USB Sticks there. You might be able to get one
