Absolutely great shots.  I have been on a manual lens kick for a while now.  It makes you pause some and consider your shot.  You also get good at it until it just seems as easy as AF.  I too use the XE1, I have 2 of them and a xt100 body and most of the time all 3 have manual lenses mounted. I use the magnification wheel and the highlight functions at the same time.

And of course, old manual lenses are so cheap on EBay.   I have 4 Canon FD lenses, 28, 35, 50, and 100.  All are wonderful.
