In the ERF box, the MF focus aids are present, i.e., focus peaking, micro screen, split image, etc. The ERF also works with Fuji lenses since they are parallax corrected in the OVF.
Thank you for this information! I understand (and bemoan) that the X-Pro is not a real rangefinder, but then it's not $5000, either. The other alternative might be a DSLR with an aftermarket split-prism focusing screen. But then those DSLRs were never built small, and that would surely bug me.
Do you know whether the split prism is available in the ERF only in the X-Pro3, or the 2 as well? An X-Pro2 with a chipped Voigtlander sounds terribly enticing. Are there any other chipped manual-focus lenses available?
The unfortunate thing is Fuji changed the communications after the release of the Pro2 so the chipped Voight is not fully functional on the Pro2. Voigtlander just announced a chipped 23 f1.2. The digital split image is a good idea on paper but in general it needs a boost in contrast to be all that useful.
