Interesting, but too little too late - the people who would have found this appealing have already moved to digital. The people who still shoot film are either serious hobbyists with investment in...

I share your sentiment Deed. For me - the depressing thing is the number of people taking pictures with phone cameras - often very good pictures I should say. Why spend time post processing images ...

Yes - but not with LR.  Import into ipad photos (I have an SD card to lightning reader dongle)  and use it for the first pass look - have I got a useable in-focus shot(s) before I pack up and go ...

Tony made the right point - the focus will work fine - just make sure you have manual aperture control - ie an aperture ring on the lens

Flip (briefly if in OVF) to the EVF.  Now you're seeing what your sensor sees.  Adjust exposure to taste...

I agree your subjects look a little soft - only really noticeable at full zoom though.  I had a quick look at pics I've taken with my copy of this lens: At 1.4 subjects are a little soft - hard to ...

OK - have to admit I don't get this... I'm sure the caption is the clue but I'm missing the reference! The image is unusual - focused, as it is, on the empty sofa back and table edge with the main ...

I'd agree with that, or an X-Pro if you want an optical viewfinder.

Have kept the 23mm 1.4 and the 35mm 1.4 - fab lenses. Don't need the weather sealing and I prefer the faster lenses... I have the 14mm f2.8. Tempted by the faster 16mm lens but have been massively ...

I had an X100 and traded up to the X100S when it was launched.  Better in every respect so that's the one to get.

Lightroom does this - ie import only new and rename batch (CMD-A to select then library menu)

I lost a 55-200 in a fall last year - I claimed on my insurance. The best way of telling if you really love a lens is - given the insurance money... do you buy the exact same thing as a replacement. ...

Yes - set to: usb card reader auto - your camera thinks it is trying to save images off-camera - guess you've been using tethered or wireless.

Too big for me.  I bought into mirrorless (from full frame SLR) because I wanted to take advantage of micro electronics to have a smaller, lighter camera with great image quality. I love the idea ...

A fast solid state drive (SSD) will be the single biggest thing you'll notice if your existing computer doesn't have one.  Everything will load faster and save faster.

As a fellow sailor in the UK in cold wet January your pics made me long for better weather and time on the boat.  Thanks for sharing. PS I agree about the 23mm 1.4  Outstanding lens

I have a mark on the sensor of my X-Pro2.  I haven't had to clean it before and I confess to being nervous.  Does anyone have a workflow / process they follow to manually clean a sensor and would ...

We should try to minim ise this kind of thread. People will get crotchety!

I have both and have never seen the need (size-wise) to shift to the f2 versions.  The 35mm is plenty small enough and I've used the 23mm as a walk around lens in cities - everything's relative - ...

Notwithstanding Baobob's technically accurate observation I use the 14mm indoors frequently and the 23mm as a tighter, faster lens.
