Hello!

 

I have the x100t with the Leather case LC-X100S and I love it. It's small, compact, nice, retro, etc.

I just bought the X-Pro2, and I want the same/similar solution.

Did anyone try the LC-XPro1 case on the X-Pro2 camera?

If not, does anyone know of a similar option?

 

Thanks,
Max

Same story here. I have a x100t and the case is perfect. I also have a xpro1 and the leather case is far from good: no access to the battery! But I got an xpro2 and here's your answer: it doesn't fit. The xpro2 is bigger. I use only the top part of the case to protect the xpro2 in my bag, as a temporary solution.

No, the Xpro1 case wouldn't fit the Xpro2 at all. Personally I don't quite like the design of the official Fujifilm leather case for Xpro2, not user friendly at all.

I am looking forward to other brand's design, knowing KAZA is going to launch the XPro2 case set. See how it would be.

I just ordered the Kenji with matching strap. Now the hard part...waiting for it to arrive.

Aswald: I was very tempted by the half case, but I just feel like it would not protect the camera enough. I love being able to just throw my camera in the back of the car, or in a backpack and not stress about it getting scratched or broken. I guess the half case would not protect enough? Hemm. Maybe it would? Maybe I'm being too careful? OMG YOU ARE MAKING ME RECONSIDER EVERYTHING!!! :)

I purchased the leather X-Pro 2 case from Amazon by ?Hwota.  You can purchase the 1/2 case or the full.  I purchased the full.  It seems very well made.  I was a little disappointed in that the complete case will not cover the 18-135 or the 10-24-but my fault for not measuring-can't criticize when it is user error.  It does work perfectly with the 35 F2.  I think the 1/2 case looks more functional than the Fuji one-it allows access to the card slots, the battery, etc, and is very nicely made.

Hi laddsmith,

 

do you have a link for that case? I couldn't find it.

 

I've been looking and looking for a case for my X-Pro2, so far without any success. I'm like harpax, I like to just throw the camera on my backpack, or even have it over my shoulder but with some protection against bumps/rain.

Haha....it does look like the Kenji ones would better protect the rear of the camera. I'd say it's a good decision.

 

My experience with Fujifilm's original leather is that it's fine leather and the coating isn't quite as durable. Very often it would get nicked and scratched from my fingernails alone.

Hey all, old topic I know, but does anyone know if it would work the other way round? If an X Pro 2 case will fit an X Pro 1?

I've had a used 1 model come my way and am looking for a case for it, can't seem to find anything but the official Fuji X Pro 1 half case without the battery flap available anywhere.

The XP2 is ever so slightly bigger in every dimension so the answer is probably, but it might be a little loose, especially around the grip area.

Bear in mind the tripod sockets are in different places (offset on the 1, properly centred on the 2) so don't buy one of the many third party cases that attach via the tripod mount.  The official Fuji case or ones like it which go over the strap eyelets should be ok.

    • I also use a Nikon to GFX Fringer and it works very well.  24mm f/1.8 vignettes so best used on 35mm mode.  50mm f/1.8 covers the entire frame very well with no issues and is a superb little lens. 105mm Sigma vignettes slightly but is perfectly usable. 300 f/4 likewise the 105.  I have a 70-200 f/20+.8 incoming to test so will report back but I'm expecting a little vignetting.  Even in 35mm mode the image is still 60MP and if you're prepared to manually crop and correct you can get 80-90 MP images.  I also have a C/Y to GFX adapter.  The 24mm Sigma Superwide vignettes strongly. Ditto 28-80 Zeiss Sonnar. 80-200 f/4 Sonnar is perfectly usable. All work fine as 35mm mode lenses.  I also have an M42 adapter which I tried with the Carl Zeiss Jena 135mm f/3.5 with good results. 
    • Thank you. I will research it.
    • Ahh, the infamous brick wall photos… 😀 According to internet lore, if the dng converter does not properly apply the corrections, you can have it apply custom profiles that should work for you. How to do that is waaaaaay outside of this comment’s scope, but there are plenty of sites listed in the search engines that step you through the processes. Best wishes.
    • Jerry Thank you very much. That is extremely helpful. It seems that the camera and the lens have the latest firmware update, so it appears that the corrections should be applied automatically. The lens arrived this afternoon and I took some quick test shots, in which the correct lens information appeared in the EXIF files, so that sounds good. I used Adobe DNG converter to convert the Raw (RAF) files, and then opened the DNG files and saved them in PSD format. However, with a beautiful, clear, cloudless blue sky, there were no lines near the edges to check if distortion had been corrected. Another day I plan to photograph a brick wall. Thank you for your help.
    • Typically you need to make sure the lens is compatible with the camera, i.e. check the lens compatibility charts for your camera, then make sure the respective firmwares are updated so older issues are resolved. After that, each lens has a manufacturer’s profile which will be embedded into the raw file meta data for the images captured using that lens. From there, it is up to the raw conversion software to apply the lens correction to the image. Different converters do that differently, some automatically, some only if a setting is turned on. For in-camera jpegs, the on-board converter does the corrections automatically, assuming the camera recognizes the lens, it applies a generic profile otherwise. I do not know if that can be turned off or not.
