Updated firmware seemed to help me focus in low light today with OVF...
here's some with the 35mm; trying it out in some tricky lighting to see what I get with the OVF (which I like using lots).

and a color shot, just to show I do actually do it once in a blue moon...

ETA: This was a mash focused shot - I saw it and as I went to click, my husband walked out to ask me a business question (which I cannot ignore, even for a photography) so I just clicked, without focusing. Pretty good!

Where was that second shot taken?

I finally took some photos that aren't of family members lol.

This is my Pentax K1000. My father gave this to me and it was the camera that inspired me to take up photography as a hobby.

This is not helping me from not getting an X-E1

me too, inquiring minds would like to know!

Here's one of many shots of Muse last night at the Rose Garden here in Portlant. It was the 2nd time seeing them and they are the best act live period. Matt sounds better live than he does on the album if that's possible to imagine.

I like this shot a lot. It got me immediately.

Just got back from 3 weeks in India on assignment using my XE + 35 1.4 and adapted Tammy 17mm-- as second to my 5dmk2 + 35L-- and all I can say is that I'm blown away from the images I am starting to review on the XE.

It's THAT good. I can't post any of the assignment pics until the assignment happens, but I will post afterward. And I'll post some of the non-assignment pics when I get around to them.

I'm still loving this thread.

Really Looking forward to that post Russ!!!
Chris, you've been taking some super slick shots! Way to show everyone what the x-pro/xe is capable of

Here's two from the same shoot. This wonderful artisan let us use his quite nice vintage dodge free of charge...(horray for not having to spend much money on personal work!)
Having gorgeous friends is ever so handy...

Grain added in post on both...

A little bird told me that the latest update allows custom settings to actually be saved....is this true?
Couldn't care less about auto-iso, but more accurate af might come in handy. Though personally, I check focus every time anyways...fuji has made that part at least very intuitive.

Great! the spacious feeling.

Anyone get their XE1 grip in US, it seems no one has that.

Looks very familiar. I took a shot similar to that from a highway in Nevada. I wonder where I was at the time (dont recall).

X-Pro1 + XF 18mm:

I'm using a RainbowImaging adapter, but I don't know if I can recommend them.
When mine arrived, the tolerance was so off that I had to take the adapter apart, add a shim then put it all back together.
This could have been a one time issue, but I've used and tried many adapters and I've never had such a problem with sloppy construction.
On the other hand, the adapters are very affordable and once the adapter was put back together, it's worked great.

Here's another @ f1.2 with the 42mm.
