The Official Fuji X Pro 1 Thread

This is why I'm returning to the Fuji X-Pro1 system, I so adore the files it produces. This is a fresh edit of a shot taken in Sept 2015 from my photo library.

Thank you George, appreciate your kind comments. I think I'll end up getting that floral image printed professionally.

Cheers;
Peter

As from tomorrow (Friday) I'll be shooting again with a X-Pro1 and newly purchased XF35/XF56. So looking forward with the acquaintance once again in the X camp.

Let's see if you can stick with it more than 3 months this time :LOL::LOL:
 
Hmmm they seem quite pricy at around£1,300. I may aim for a X-T1 as a second body....... we'll see. Need to expand on XF glass, I've two XF lenses arriving tomorrow but need to source a wide angle and a zoom also in the near future.

I still like/love the original X-Pro1 for what it delivers...

Can you XPro-1 guys explain something to me: Re. the the screw-in dioptre on the XP-1 viewfinder - I understand that it may be necessary to fit a different strength dioptre to cater for individual eyesight variations - are these needed only by individuals who wear spectacles? Do people who can manage without specs need to change them or is the original (as supplied new) dioptre good enough? I am still toying with acquiring an XP-1 and I am used to cameras with adjustable dioptres.

Thanks in advance

My understanding is that if you need to adjust the diopter on a viewfinder that has adjustment, you will obviously need to buy an adjuster.
I need spectacles and had to buy an adjuster for my XP1.
Hope this helps.

If you don't need glasses then the standard dioptre lens that the camera comes with will be fine
 
Hi guys, I'm looking to dabble in Fuji's X system. But why would I chose a Pro1 over t10 or t1? The pro1 seemingly being the least expensive frees up some pennies for glass. I also have a collection of Hexanons and a trio of Nikon AI-S lenses that I'd like to use.

Can you give me your unbiased opinions, probably not :p

Depends what you're shooting. X-Pro1 is still a great camera - and a bargain these days.

I mostly shoot street, architecture, candid portraits, landscapes and general travel stuff. I don't specialise.

The thing that is really drawing me into the Fuji system is the buttons and dials. I've never got on with menus even though my Panasonic is pretty logical. I picked up a Nikon FM2 recently with 3 nice primes and I've put a few rolls of film through it. I love setting everything with dials.

So I've just answered my own question. Pro1 or t10 or t1...........the answer is t2 :D Or at least wait until fuji starts shipping the t2 and then the t1 will become even more of a bargain.

If you are not relying heavily on af speed you will love the pro 1. Be warned - the Fuji system is very addictive

Be careful it is addictive and the lenses more so.....
I still feel the Xpro1 has given me some of my best images and I have owned the XT1 and still own the X100T
Those sensors are not the same at all

Couldn't agree more! I love my xpro1 for how it renders images and how it is to use. I have an xt1 and an xe1 too and to be honest even prefer the xe1 with its rendering over the xt1 too!
If I need speed though I'll use the xt1 and if that's still not up to scratch I have my canon 7D lol! I need to get red of he canon so the xt1 becomes to go to!
 
Mmm xe1 not considered that due to the lack of a vf. Any good, found a cheap on with the xf18-55
 
I might have a X-Pro2 now (well there's no might about it!) and the X-Pro2 might well have it's own little look, but there's definitely something organic and wholesome about those X-Pro1 images, even from raw!

The SOOC X-Pro1 (I think I've tweaked this iirc - it was over 2 years ago) output is very good too!

Found an X-E1 for £295 inc xf 18-55. Got the option of the xc 50-230 for an extra £100.

With the exception of the vf, screen and build the x-e1 and pro1 appear to have the same gubbins inside. Am I right? Looks like a cheap by in to the Fuji system.

That's a good deal.

I have an XP1 and an XE1, both great. As you say the XE1 is a great entry to the system but as others have said, beware, it becomes addictive!


The 50-230 is a huge bargain for the occasional tele option.

There certainly won't be much in it if you're a raw shooter, but the XE1 Jpg engine is slightly different (Fuji like to re-use sensor solutions, but can't resist tweaking jpeg engines !!)

My new/boxed X-Pro1 and XF35/XF56 lenses arrived with me yesterday, here's my very first capture;

@macvisual happy to be back? Or buyers remorse? Big decision getting rid of all your Nikon gear.

Yes, happy to return to the X system again, I do know and love the system well. Strange enough I've four spare Fuji batteries that I've always kept just in case.......came in handy already (as if I knew)!

Apart from my newly arrived XF35 + XF56 lens line up, I've pencilled in the XF10-24 + XF55-200 to add soon.

For me personally it's all about the X-Pro1 sensor and what that delivers and achieves, my image above called 'Loch Tay' (for me) gives a beautiful painterly artistic effect/style, I really enjoy that end result, I don't think the last camera I owned could produce that.

The X system has proper 'SOUL'.
 
[QUOTsf, post: 7527160, member: 13248"]That's a good deal.

Just agreed a deal on this bundle, £370 posted paid with PayPal.

Thanks for your help, I shall leave you xp1 guys alone and resurrect the XE1 thread if I can find it.

OK, I'm still putting the final touches to the first page of my X-Pro2 review/rhetoric article... It might go live today, but equally it's a lovely day, so I might shelve it and go out :D

So to be going on with and I guess to close out my weekly X-Pro1 articles in the X-Pro1 thread...

Here's a page that references everything I've written about the X-Pro1, plus the lens reviews and the bit about the XP1 XP2 comparison, plus the Leica M comparison, and some stories and images shot with the X-Pro1.

Enjoy!
