Hi Murad,

thanks.

Regarding the DOF, the X-Pro1 of course offers roughly one stop less DOF, but e.g. with the 1.4 35 it is still very suitable and also the 2.4 60 offers a quite shallow DOF. In my opinion the 1.4 58 will bring enough DOF for most applications. But if you really want to go to the extremes, there is no way beside FF or even bigger formats. A 1.2 85 for example is really extreme - but also huge and heavy

For my purpose, the APS-Sensor is a perfect compromis beside FF. FT would'nt be enough in some cases and for my taste.

E.g. I am really eagerly waiting for the 1.4 23, as I love my Zeiss 2.0 35 on FF, and the Fuji will give me a similar DOF.

Honestly most of the time I prefer to take the XP1 over the 5dmkII, as the IQ is as good and it is much more convinient. I only use the 5d when I need more reach, or my 35mm lens. For everything else I use the XP1.

All the best from Penang,

Daniel
