Well, after over a year I`ve finally decided to get smaller, lighter and more portable - unfortunately I`m not talking about my overall physical shape but rather the camera kit I now use.
I`ve finally traded all my heavy Nikon kit for the much more portable Fuji X Pro 1 together with a 35mm f1.4 prime together with an 18-50mm f2.4 - 4.0 zoom.
So far, extremely happy with image quality, feel, weight and portability - this set up is a real winner for me - forget all that negative stuff on geek sites about AF not working well - the latest firmware updates have dealt with all that very well indeed
It calls for a different style of shooting and you have to have a more considered approach to the shot and the learning curve is little steep unless you have experience of using a rangefinder then the fundamentals are easily understood
I`m really enjoying it and will post some examples soon
If anyone else has experience of the XPro 1 do let me know
