Seems you are looking for a different camera, X-T2. The X-Pro1 is a great camera, I would go for it but I would prefer the style of the X-Pro2 over the X-T2. 

But you're coming from an X 100t, so  . . . .  Here is my advice again " Try before you buy". The X-pro1 and the new X-T2 might be very different. There is no X-t2 yet so you might try a X-t1 in the shop.

On this forum there is lots of info about the X-Pro1, you will see that there are different opinions, if you haven't done it already you might do so you could check.

The only negative of the Pro 1is the processing power it has.  Even on the fastest cards it takes a few seconds to write, but you don't even notice unless you're a chimper, or a spray and pray shooter that fills up the cache at every turn.

 

I shoot the Pro 1 way more than the T1 anymore.

So, got the camera today with the 18-55, and so far I am impressed. The camera seems to be more responsive than the x100s and on par with the x100t.

 

The auto focus, even at dusk, I am very satisfied with its performance. Especially with the 18-55 which is dead quiet and very fast.

 

I don't know what people are comparing the x-pro 1 to when they bash its AF. I know it is not the worlds fastest, but it more than gets job done.

 

The image quality, well, it is Fujifilm. Gotta love it! Oh, and opposite my x100s and t's waxy skin when using high iso is no where to be found on the x-pro 1. I am starting to understand why some people call the x-trans 1 sensor the best :-)

      Looking for Full Frame lenses to adapt to GFX

      By thelostkiwi · Posted

      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.

      Image correction with GF20-35

      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.

      Image correction with GF20-35

      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.
