Well, with the Fuji X-E1 around the corner, there are some fantastic deals on the X-Pro1 at the moment. In the UK, we get a buy-one-get-one-free offer on a lens when bought with the body. Yesterday I went to a photo fair and bought a complete new photo kit from the ground up. I mean it, every little bit... it was an expensive day! My shopping list from yesterday:
Fujifilm X-Pro1 body
Fujinon XF 18mm F2 R Lens
Fujinon XF 35mm F1.4 R Lens
Fujinon XF 60mm F2.4 R Lens
Fuji Premium Leather Case
Domke F-803 RuggedWear Shoulder Bag
Gordy’s leather wrist strap in black leather with red cord
Thumbs Up
Opera Act 1 and 2 soft release ‘bips’ from the Thumps Up guy
Giottos Vitruvian VGRN8225 Carbon Fibre tripod
Giottos 5310-630 ball head
B&W Kaesemann MRC Circular Polariser (58mm)
B&W 110 MRC 10-stop ND filter (58mm)
Hoya 58mm R72 infrared filter (58mm)
B&W MRC UV Filter (39mm – to allow me to fit a step up to the 60mm lens' recessed thread ring)
39mm/52mm to 58mm step up rings
Nikon cable release
Nikon BS-1 hotshoe insert (fits perfectly, makes the camera look great)
A couple of extra batteries
An SD-card reader for my iPad.
I prefer to do ND grads in-software using bracketed shots, as it's so much more flexible than a filter. I can't wait to try out the R72 when it arrives
And so... I have an entire Nikon D7000 kit to sell, which I'll be trickle feeding onto the classified over the coming weeks. I love my new snapper!

Congrats on the kit, looking forward to seeing some shots. I love my X-Pro 1 got it not long after it came out.

Cheers, I'm looking forward to getting it out and about. It's quite a departure from an SLR, and I'm not sure which bits of that will grate and which bits will be great! I'll be looking around for inspiration and tips
