It also eats batteries ....mentioned elsewhere so I won't go on about it.
I am not sure if I should have gone with the Xpro rather than the XT to have the benefit of the hybrid viewfinder? I suppose I should have remembered I used the X100 almost exclusively on the OVF mode.
Will be interested to see if the XT2 reinstates an OVF option.
You mean XPro2, not XT2.
Yes it does.
The XT2 is a newer, ?better? version of the XT1.
No I meant XT2, but I wrote that before reading the XT2 spec. I think the lack of OVF is a non starter for me. The EVF hamstrings me for anything but casual static subjects. I know I have retired ...but my shooting is still rarely XT pedestrian mode.
I may try and pick up a used XPro1 when I am back in the UK, rather than go to the expense of an XPro2, just to see if the hybrid viewfinder is the answer.
I've already earmarked the 18-135 lens for sale. Lovely lens, but all those IR people on the Fuji forum who said it didn't have a hotspot are talking out of their lens mount.
It may not be as distinct as the other lenses I have but IMHO the not decent zoom for IR is the cheapie 16-50. If I decide to keep the Fuji system for colour, I feel a few wide primes may be order of the day, so they can be dual role.
