Today I received a XT-2 along with a 50-140 from lensrental.com. I rented this for an assignment tomorrow. When I mounted the 50-140 on my X-Pro 1, I accidentally hit the lever to switch to the OVF. When I did this, I got the ability use the OVF with the 50-140. I was impressed since, I am unable to use the OVF with my 90mm. The bottom right is blocked by the length of the lens so its pointless to be honest but it was interesting.
Also I wanted to share the performance difference in sensors. I set up the 50-140 on a tripod. I then switched both bodies and took some images of my xmas tree. Look at the difference in settings
X-Pro 1 - 6400 ISO, f2.8, 1/50th, 0 exp
XT-2 - 6400 ISO, f2.8, 1/100th, 0 exp
Thats impressive, GREAT JOB FUJI!...Show more →
I can use the OVF with my XPro2 and the 50-140... but I wouldn't want to! I just photographed a couple of concerts today using this rig and I did the whole thing in EVF. (By the way, I was also pushing the image stabilization capabilities of the lens for this shoot...)
(One advantage of these cameras for concert photography is that in most conditions you can use the electronic shutter setting and the camera is essentially totally silent.)
