Fuji X-Pro 1 Edinburgh Christmas Market photowalk

Got out Wednesday (16/12/15) and took a few street images at Edinburgh's Christmas market, East Princes Street Gardens. (All pics taken with the 18mm F2.)

I'm looking forward to acquiring the new Fujinon 35mm F2 later this month, and I hope to feature some shots taken with the lens in my next post.

Fujifilm X-Pro 1, first shots

Finally made it into town today and took a total of 151 shots, a couple of dozen of which I am quite pleased with. The X-Pro 1's focus is reasonably quick, and I shot the majority of images in this mode. I used manual focus for the remainder; all images @ F8 or F11 (at 1/500). Pictures follow:

Fuji X-Pro 1 acquired (watch this space) ...

Last year I sold my Fuji X-100s and bought a Panasonic GM1. I don't regret the Panasonic purchase, as it's a exceptionally pocketable camera (particularly when mounted with the Olympus body cap lens, which, incidentally is not a bad performer, even in low light situations), but I do regret selling the Fuji.

Anyway, I happened to see the XP1 on offer at an exceptionally low price, a deal which included the 18mm F2 lens. I succumbed, and am now the proud owner of the camera. I've configured the settings and familiarised myself with the X-Pro 1, but I won't take it out until I've received a 52mm UV filter which I've ordered to protect the lens. I hope to go on my first proper photo shoot with the camera next week, so watch this space! Meanwhile a few pics taken recently with my Panny GM1:
