I shot this in the last hour or so that I had the lens. I was doing an IQ comparison with my original X100/28 - The focus is on the car in the center... don't ask why... I wasn't thinking. ISO ...

I just spent 4 days with a rental 18mm and I thought it was great. It focused plenty fast, easily as fast as the 35/1.4 I had rented. The version I had was a little noisy when focusing, that was ...

Good luck, I'd be interested in hearing your thoughts on the viewfinder after all this. d

Eugene, I checked it again today... yes, right up against the rubber cup. Also didn't have the tele glare issue in a variety of instances... must have been light coming in at just the right angle. ...

C'mon Bob... don't be silly.

Hmmm, many interesting thoughts here... especially considering that Fuji didn't even have a diopter adjustment on the first version... which was heartbreaking to me. However, I received my rental ...

That's hilarious, I agree.

a real 'pancake' lens was always in the 40mm focal length range. It's from focal lengths that required very simple lens designs and could therefore be made extremely flat, similar to the current ...

I absolutely agree. It's definitely on my wish list. Look how popular the small 35 Summicron's were for Leica. It's the way to go.

I think I prefer the argument, again, that a 28-equivalent is much less objectionable than a 24. The 28 can look extremely 'normal' when used properly. Then of course we can use the 21 when we want ...

Fair enough. Guess I only looked at the focal length... not the lens. Still like the picture.

Funny John.

Actually got mine today. Typical as my luck goes, after I started this thread I checked my goto rental company and they had the X-PRO2 in stock. Thinking I wouldn't be seeing mine until around the ...

Good one! Thanks for that a_c_.

I like your picture but I think it could use just a little more snap. My monitor is set a little above center on brightness and I find it a bit 'dead' to look at. No offense, just trying to give a ...

This looks like it might be a nice shot but I can't see it. What's up with the exposure and/or post production?

Nice!

Yeah I was thinking the same... maybe focus point setting or something... the fact that a few shots are sharp throughout the spectrum IS promising... but really each frame needs to be darned near ...

I have to agree with HelloCrowley here... this is not an example of good focus tracking. Frame #8 is a great shot but it's way to soft to use... frankly a bit disappointing from what I'm seeing.

What is up yo?! All you guys have your cameras? Where in the world are you? I'm in NY, capital city of photography baby... where's my camera?
