Re: Fun with the Fuji X-E1

Back from three weeks in Europe with the X-E1 + 18-55 kit lens. Here's a few to whet your appetite:

Re: Fun with the Fuji X-E1

Would I be mad to trade my X-Pro 1 + 15, 35, 60 lenses for an X-E1 + 18-55? I'd lose a ton of money but somehow I have not 'bonded' with the X-Pro 1 as well as I did with the X100 and I really do like not having to change lenses too often. My cameras producing the best quality for me at the moment are my Sigma DP Merrills, so I am thinking X-E + 18-55 as a general walkbout and for anything 'serious' I would reach for my Merrills.

Those that have the 18-55 zoom say it's a great lens so I doubt I'd be losing out much on quality and I'd be back to a smaller form factor.

Hmn, then again there's the X100S but that would be daft considering I still have the X100 and I am still not convinced about the X-trans sensor (yes I know that is in the X-E1 too) for landscape work ...

Of course I could start looking further afield, like the Pentax K5 II S + 18-135mm but - no, already been there with the first K5 and sold it after it sat on the shelf when my X100 took over LOL ...

I think I need to see a doctor ...

Lee, I don't think that is crazy at all. The right body is the body that works best for you. The X-E1 is more compact and has a couple of upgraded features from the XPro-1. Me, I wish I had gone for the XPro-1 myself instead of the X-E1, as I do badly miss having an optical viewfinder. Anyone interested in swapping bodies, let me know! :D

Been away for a while - life has been very busy (selling a house, buying a house, getting married!). Here are 4 from an extended stay at and around the lodge where our wedding was.








Hopefully I'll have more to post as I foresee having more time to get out and take some pictures!
