I love Maine! Thanks for the photos! How do you like the Fuji X's in comparison to other digital camera models?
I like my XPro 2. I wanted a digital camera with an optical viewfinder. The fact I can shoot square or 16:9 was a really nice bonus--two of my favorite film cameras were a Mamiya 6 and Horsemen SW612.
The APSC format changes the dynamic of the images--I also shoot with a Pentax 645D and Sony RX1. I am still getting used to depth of field. Color and contrast are also different. I did make some 40" prints when I got the camera to make sure I could achieve a certain level of image quality. I was very pleased by the large prints, but they are different from my other cameras. I hate to sound so ambiguous, but obviously different format cameras are not going to be the same, yet to say one is superior to another is not right either.
I have always had a soft spot for Fuji cameras--they are a crazy company that makes products for photographers. I like both the 23mm f/2 and 14mm f/2.8 Fuji lenses. The camera feels good to use, but I am still getting a feel for it. It always takes me a while to really understand how a camera sees. But I am really impressed by how flexible the camera is--from IR to night photography as well as long exposures with ND filters. Obviously, this camera was designed to be handheld, but it is also a joy on a tripod.
A few niggles. I was the frame lines would not dim when using ND and IR filters--it thinks it is dark outside and reduces the brightness which makes them useless in bright daylight. Also, at night, the frame lines will washout the viewfinder, which is a bit of a pain. I also which the frame lines could be changed to compensate for the curvilinear distortion in the viewfinder.
All in all, I am very satisfied with the camera. I just have to catch up to its potential...
