Re: Manual Focus and X-Pro

Using manual lenses on the X-Pro with the OVF is pathetic. If you have used a Leica M or any other real rangefinder camera, you will be in for a major disappointment. I have an X-Pro2 and an X-T2 and when I use the X-Pro2 with a manual lens, I always use the EVF, usually with peaking. Almost never use the OVF and only with AF lenses. The dual OVF/EVF on the X100 series and the X-Pro series was one of those great ideas that Fuji's designers completely screwed up. Besides owning an X-Pro1 and two X-Pro2s, I have owned every X100 model from the original through the X100F and almost never used the OVF on any of them.
