Fuji X-Pro 1 with 27mm lens

Usual territory for my street walk on Thursday 31 March. I'm noticing a steady increase of visitors to the city — amazing the difference a month or two makes.

This was the first outing with Fuji's 27mm lens attached to the XP1. Its pancake length makes the camera lighter and gives it an even stealthier profile. I found it quick to focus, though occasionally it would hunt a bit before locking onto the subject. (Initially, I abandoned my usual F8 with shutter speed of 1/500th, and opted instead to use aperture priority (F4), with the camera choosing the shutter speed. This worked okay for most shots, but there were one or two that could have used a faster shutter time, as well as the depth of field afforded by a smaller aperture.)

Most images were okay, though, and overall I'm pleased with the lens' performance:


Little green man

Changing pace
Nae hurry ...


Pointing the way

Smokin' Sounds

Take five ...
Mind the step ...

The aliens have landed

Well red
