First 48 Hours with X-Pro2

I primarily shoot Nikon but have always loved the Fuji X System. My original X100 is still one of my favorite cameras. I jumped on the X System with the original X-Pro1 and had a love hate relationship with it. It was an absolute joy on paper and the IQ was amazing however it's slow AF and useless EVF (pre-any firmware updates, got it 1st week it was available) made me return it. Although I did take some of my favorite shots ever of my daughter with it. Fast forward a few years and I got the itch after reading all of the reviews of the X-Pro2

All I can say is.. OMG! All the issues I had are gone, this camera is amazing and so much fun to shoot. I've had it almost 48 hours and have shot hundreds of frames with it. Almost every image is spot on to what I envisioned prior to hitting the shutter. I mostly shoot RAW, but SooC is phenomenal especially with the ACROS film simulation (which is gorgeous and I'm having a real hard time matching in LR). The layout is amazing, even the ISO dial isn't horrible once you get used to it. I would like to set an FN button to adjust ISO (which I'm sure is possible when I RTFM). Combining Mechanical & Electronic shutter allows you to shoot wide open in all kinds of situations without having to add ND filters.

These are all shot with the 35mm 1.4, I'm hoping the sale starts this week so I can add the 23 & 56 to the mix.

FUJI SALES event is supposed to start tomorrow.

Chance to pick up another lens,

I'm having a tough time deciding which one - for various reasons.

The 23, 90, or 55-200

Which one would I use more ? I see picture opportunities and then say "wish I had that lens .... "

I normally skip cat photos, but that one is excellent. My guess is that the black and white removes the cuteness and lets the sinuousity shine.
