    XPro 1 is the OG king! I had one for a bit a few years ago and cursed a lot at it at first but then gradually it grew on me with it's quirks until I loved it. Then I was a stupid a-hole and sold it towards a XE2 when I should have just saved my money for longer and been patient. Now these days here in Japan I am always on the look out for a good one at the used camera shops and hope to land one again to use vintage primes on it. Cheers for the great video bro. Keep em coming 🙏

    i don't know if somebody already mentioned it, but it's not a glitch. Once x-pro1 goes into sleep for more than 2mins or 24mins (depends on if your quick start mode is on/off) and into DEEP sleep more, all you need to do is to full press shutter mode than 1 sec for it to restart, rather than just half press :)

      I love my Xpro1. From all the comments on the net, one could think it is so slow you cannot use it. Also the EVF is crap.
      Well, I was quite surprised how fast it operated. Even with the old 35/1.4 lens. Plenty good. The EVF isn’t the best but just fine. Thought worse tbh. Pleasantly surprised by the Camera.
      But then I don’t come from an ultra modern one but from an X100T.
      I prefer the little bigger Xpro1 ergonomically. I got the 23/2 with the body. Very fast af with that lens. I got the older 35/1.4 and 18/2 for half nothing locally. Love the image quality.
      Compared to the X100T, I‘d say the Xpro1 has a more organic, maybe even film look to the images. Colors are a bit softer maybe, more pastel looking.
      something about that camera, love it.
      Not sure if I keep the 23/2 bit an overkill lense wise. I really like the 18 & 35 combo. Something new and different to the X100Ts 23mm. I debate to either keep the 23/2 or the X100T but not both. I like a minimal set up. What would you do? The X100T is quite compact but so is the Xpro1 & the 18mm.
      I also own a Nikon FE. I don‘t wan‘t to build a camera collection nor too many lenses. I also have an adapter for Nik>FX so I can pair the Xpro1 with the Nikkor 50/1.4. very cool for portraits being a 75mm on APSC.
      Only thing I miss are a few more filmsimulations on the Xpro1. I like to shoot jpeg with some fuji recipies.

    I payed just under £300 last year but it is in excellent condition and I love it. I don't go around rapidly firing off shots, in fact I have quite a few vintage Leicas and I tend to use it as I would one of those in other worlds no rush mode. They are a good looking camera and a pleasure to use. I only shoot jpegs and the film simulations are excellent too. My only negative is that I like using vintage glass but the focus peaking, which is white only, leaves a little to be desired. The hybrid viewfinder is ideal for saving battery power and yes mine sometimes goes to sleep and won't wake up but as you say easily overcome by turning it off and on again. I use it in manual mode, so easy with proper controls and use it with auto ISO.

    The issue you have where you have to turn it off and on again is something I've experienced with my X100S too.
    I assume the X-Pro1 has another one of the annoyances of the X100S - if it's writing images to SD, you turn it off, and then change your mind, you have to sit and wait for the buffer to be clear before you can shoot more. If you don't turn it off, you don't have to wait, you can just do a half press of the shutter and start shooting.
    Both these things drove me nuts with the X100S!

    I own one since last summer, got it for about 200€. I had a bit of a hard time getting used to it coming from the E2. I felt like the EVF is lacking and also having no wifi was annoying. Also when I first took it out my vintage lens got foggy inside and I could not really use the system. Just a bad start. I put the camera on the shelf again using it now and then. However as I lend the E2 to my father I really got used to the Pro1 and actually do not want to switch back. The Pro1 is a camera I can not imagine selling again. It is so much value for hat I paid, it would not make sense. I had been waiting for the prices of the Pro2 really drop to obtain one but at the moment I feel the Pro1 is good enough for me. Also I am a fan of its looks. So here is a tool that is good enough for me AND that I enjoy using, how much more could I ask for.
    Having an actual coupled rangefinder would be so awesome I did not even dare to think about it. Getting interested in the art of analog photography lately I like the approach Fuji is taking with the Pro line. I imagine putting an advance lever like the Epson RD-1 has on a Pro to give the option of power savings (and additional coolness).

My X-Pro 1 has a really bad LCD and it is so much slower when compared to my X-T30. But having it has opened up a few opportunities I never imagined. Lately I've used the X-Pro 1 in bracket mode to shoot Fuji film simulation mode. And I decided to take it on walks with the dog since it was my "old" camera and not my new expensive camera. As a result I'm shooting like crazy, getting some good shots, and saving time on RAW processing. It's kind of like getting a really powerful point and shoot. Only downside is it makes me want the X-Pro 3.

    As of writing this ( August 2020) photography has stopped being affordable overnight. Kodak's film price hike has push a lot of film buffs into the digital space and all these cameras are now available at a crazy premium. Thanks for destroying an industry Kodak!
