Sknai, to be fair you suggested a lens with a different kind of rendering as an alternative to a lens with a completely different kind of rendering. Similarly, had you suggested a telephoto zoom...

When your answer to everything is "just photoshop it" perhaps its time to stop calling yourself a photographer, and just be a photo manipulator.

There's mother photo in of the same subjects where both are in focus. The photographer used a shallow depth of field in this photo, and a wider depth of field in the other photo. I figured you'd...

Fuji won best instant camera... suck it everyone who doesn't even make an instant camera. :D

We've reached peak-conspiracy.

Canon won 3 out of the 17 categories it could have won. Boy all that marketing sure paid off for Canon... *rolls eyes*

Whoops, sorry, you're right about the adapters.

That's a good suggestion. The new lens will probably have a bit better IQ, due to modern coatings and such, but for someone who is casually interested in the effect the old lens should be fine. The...

Since those lenses do not render the same swirly background, they are irrelevant to a photographer who wants a particular style of photo.

The point of this lens is primarily the way it renders the bokeh and also the transition from in and out of focus. Despite the Nikkor being a good lens, it does not produce the same kinds of photos.

Yeah the M5 and M6 are basically the same camera with different designs and are analogous to the XE3 (when it comes out) and XT20. They are nice cameras.

Are you referring to the X-E1, X-E2, or X-E2S?

Sounds like a good plan. I think you will find that the Pro1 shines when you stop trying to replicate your DSLR with it.

Something else to think about, which Ben H touched on, is the kit lens the camera comes with. The XA camera comes with the XC16-50 (or sometimes you can find a deal on both the XC16-50 and the ...

Quick question, did you update the Pro 1's firmware to the latest? It doesn't make it lightning quick, but the AF was definitely improved over time.

Yep. Its worth renting the Pro2 if you loved everything about except its AF.

Very nice.

The freezing issue is on the T2, my Pro2 has been great.

If you like it for landscapes, why not keep it and the 14? You don't really need fast AF for that. You love the 35 f1.4, but it really is the slowest focusing of all Fuji lenses...well except for ...
