Have x-pro1 with 18-55 and canon fd 50mm f1.4 and original x100.

Use 90% of the time x100, cause i like it's size and focus range. Also because i have no good "glass" for x-pro (hate zooms and trying to get reed of 18-55 :)

 

Now try to decide if i should go for 56mm or upgrade x100 to x100t. Glass will serve me on future x-pro2 and x100t looks a lil bit outdated and not well build (according to x100 it's very easy to scuff top silver side) for it's price. What is your choice?

If you're OK with 35mm and 50mm eq. I'd recommend to stick with X100T and TCL. It's more stealth-like than X-T1 and much faster than original X100. I use X100s and TCL most of the time for studio portraits. I take longer lenses only for single person closeups.

If the x100 series was in all metal body like xpro + f1.4 than it would be so obvious choice.

I don't understand why you don't like the x100 series quality. My X100s feels like all metal tank except for doors which is not a problem when it's in the case. I don't have X-pro1 so I have nothing to compare with but IMO X100 series mechanics is superb.

I like the camera and it's design, but build quality of pro is a way better. Otherwise how can i get 2 tiny scuffs on silver top wearing it in case only? No contact to ruff surface, bags or something. May be another paint technology?

When I looked at buying a camera to  get back into photography I looked at the X-Pro 1 because I loved soo much about it.

Then I looked at the X-T10

 

Then I bought the X-100T.

 

I'm very much  street/ documentary photographer and the 100T just fits that line of photography soo well. Inconspicuouse, fits in my pocket, and every bit as able to perosnalise as the X-Pro 1 (in fact she sits with same set up) - and the fixed lens means I don't have to worry about dust so much.

I'm chargin the batteryvup about once every 6 or 7 weeks due to work commitments reducing the chances to take a pic :-(

 

Still ponder the X-Pro 2, but only a really big jump in ISO could drsg me from this camera - and maybe A/F that can be geneuibely used for action/ wildlife - because those areas can come up when out in the street etc.

    • All three of my bodies (X-E2, X-T4, GFX100S II) have shoot without lenses enabled and they have all had it set since I bought them.  No harm in it at all. Just remember to set the focal length when you fit a manual lens with no electronics otherwise the IBIS (if you have it) goes nuts. I regularly use vintage film lenses from Minolta, Zeiss, Mamiya, Rollei and others on my X mounts along with more modern manual focus stuff from TTArtisans. I also use Nikon AF-S lenses with a Fringer so the world is your oyster! Vintage lenses can be an absolute bargain too - For example the Zeiss 135 f/35 in M42 is as cheap as chips and very sharp as is the excellent Minolta 35-70 Macro (which is also rebadged Leica). 
    • I'm not exaggerating when I say that I have searched with great vigor (and at great expense) for a way to capture IR images with a Fujifilm camera for which I didn't have to use major amounts of sharpening to bring out the best. Zooms, primes, Fuji, Tamron, Viltrox, Sigma, Zeiss ... probably 20 lenses all told. Plus multiple IR converted Fuji cameras, X-T1, X-T3, X-T5. I even tried different ways of filtering IR, such as using the Kolari clip-ins and lens-mounted front filters. I was ready to give up until I almost accidentally tried one of the cheapest lenses out there -- the little TTArtisan 27mm F2.8. No hotspots that I could see, and best of all ABSOLUTELY SUPERB SHARPNESS across the entire frame. It's this attribute that I search for, and until now, never achieved. In my prior attempts, I listened to the advice from the "pundits", picking up a copy of the venerable Fuji 14mm F2.8, the Zeiss Touitt 12mm F2.8, Fuji 23 and 35mm F2.0, even the very similar 7Artisans 27mm F2.8, and none of them come even close to the TTArtisan for edge sharpness in infrared. Incidentally, I'm using a Kolari 720nm clip-in filter. Sure the TT has its issues -- vignetting at 2.8, tendency to flare with sunlight nearby, but all in all, this lens is glued to my X-T5 for now. This image was taken hand-held with this lens -- completely unedited!
    • Hy there When Im using the fan001 on the XH2s and I flip the LCD Screen vertically by 180 degrees then the image flips vertically, what is good but it also flips horizontally. The clean feed on HDMI is not flipping horizontally but its also flipping if the HDMI output info display is on. When I unmount the fan then the image flips only vertically. My firmware is updated to the latest version. Any ideas if there is a fix for that?
    • In reply to the original question, it all depends on what you mean by infrared.  If you mean "see thermal information", then I agree with the comments here.  However, if you mean near-infrared, the X-T4, or basically any digital camera can be modified to "see" it.  Check out Lifepixel.com and Kolarivision.com for more info.

    • No - I don’t think so - it means you can take pictures if you remove the lens completely - but I’m not sure that is a problem
