Well, hi all! I at last joined this forum after buying my Fuji X-pro1 two weeks ago. I'm photographer at my own FotoVriend  photo company. Professional I'm mostly doing weddings and shoot in and around the Netherlands. That's also where I live, to be more specific in Delft. Whilst shooting the 'serious' jobs with my Nikon (D700, with 17-35mm and 85mm several mobile/studio flashes, filters etcetera) I really missed a good travel camera - the X-pro1. I need the optical quality plus variation in my lenses and I really hate most of the mirrorless camera's because of their, in my opinion, terrible controls. 

 

To cut things short. I bought the set with 18 and 27mm for a humble €849.-, which is as cheap as they second hand go. This set was new! Immediately sold the 27mm, because I dislike the focal length. I never really liked the view of a 50mm (this one's 40, but in general I dislike everything after 35 and before 85) - that's why I sold mine long ago. 28mm is great as a street lens, and so far it's sharp enough for me. For the future I see myself buying the 56mm because I need more length than the 18mm (28mm FF) and maybe upgrade to the X-pro2 (and sell my Nikon set?). But first things first haha.

 

Well thanks for having me here and I'm looking forward in sharing my expertise and learn of all of you guys!
