  1. I don't want IBIS. From what I hear, it can actually slightly reduce sharpness and resolution in a regular photo. By regular, I mean a situation or shutter speed where you wouldn't be concerned with camera shake.
  2. Saying it's "kinda worthless" is a little strong. It's functional. Also you don't have to move it just by clicks. You can hold it in the direction you want the focus box to move and it will move faster. It can get a little out of control then, though. The thing I don't understand and maybe somebody can help me is why the focus point will sometimes jump to an area of higher contrast after I've moved it somewhere? This is in AF-S mode.
  3. I find my 35 f2 my only somewhat disappointing Fuji lens. It does focus faster than my 35 1.4, especially back on my X-T1, and is not really as unsharp as it seems on first glance. But there's something flatter about its rendering, something not as engaging. I'm back to using the 35 1.4 more on my X-T2. But I do use the 35 2 when focus speed or weather sealing are overriding considerations. I'm also very partial to the 16 1.4 and the the 56 1.2.
  4. I also use Nikon FF and Fuji. I recently travelled to Arizona with my usual D810 camera bag (Think Tank Retrospective 20), the 24-70 and a 85 1.8. My X-T1, 35 1.4 and 16 fit in no problem after I removed the 70-200. Along with this as the carry on, I also had a x100S in another small "personal" bag. While there, I mostly used the x100S while walking around and the D810 for the Grand Canyon. It just worked out that way on this short trip. For most purposes closer to home, I mostly use the X-T1 with the 16 1.4, the 35 1.4 and recently acquired 56 1.2, along with the x100S. Although I often use zooms on my Nikon, I value the more compactness of the Fuji primes and don't find it an issue to change the lenses when necessary. The quality of shots on the Fuji with primes compare very favorably with those from the D810 with the 24-70.
  5. Almost half the time I use the view finder only, most of the other half of the time I use the eye sensor setting and occasionally I use the rear LCD screen only, depending on the situation. If I'm using my X100s, I refer to the menu regularly to change my ISO. I rarely use Auto ISO. If I'm using my X-T1, I don't check the menus as often. But since I'm relatively new to Fuji, I still check them occasionally to make sure settings are what I want. If I'm in a casual shooting situation, I'm likely to use the eye sensor setting. If I feel I must quickly be able to get a shot (street shooting for example), I'll have it set to view finder only so I don't have to wait for the view finder to be on.
