Excellent shots, Roy!60/2.4 in the garden after the sprinklers shut down. A couple of comments about the 60...very nice lens, but not in the same class with the brilliant 35/1.4. Try the Nikon 60 micro G or the Leica 60/2.8 Macro-Elmarit and I think you will see what I mean. Auto focusing on flowers is very difficult...need a smaller green AF box that covers a smaller area. I don't think this lens was structured for close-up work, or as Jono once put it: "botanicals".
EVF focusing for an old fart like myself is a royal pain in the butt...like looking through the bottom of a Miller High Life bottle...but, anyway, this is what I got this AM...shot about 50 shots... about half were keepers, rest were out of focus.
I'll step aside for a while, and enjoy the street shooter and travelogue images...they're very good, and demonstrate well what I think this camera was really designed for.

Interesting question. I agree with Rich - there will be a smaller number of posted X-Pro 1 images a year from now. in part because the novelty will wear off. However, I believe the quality of images will remain high as the sensor and optics produce more distinctive images than the x100.Are we still going to see "fun with the XPro1" posts in one year from now? Remember how the X100 posts took off about a year ago to then dry up pretty quickly to a small trickle.
Wow Joe.......NYC is gonna MISS you! :thumbs:Final images from New York.
Unfortunately, you are right. It will still be a superb camera, but photography has become an athletic event with technology at its core. Hopefully it will mean that I can buy the Fuji for a lower price when it goes somewhat out of fashion, but I wouldn't count on it. Even the clunky Fuji S3 gets rather decent prices on the second hand market.Interesting question.
