Hi all,
Thought it would be nice with a thread with photos from the Fuji X-Pro1 and other cameras using the X-mount.
I start with a landscape shot - done with a ND110 filter. The X-Pro1 is a bit peculiar when it comes to extreme long exposures - you can read about it on my site: http://cederphotography.com/Blog
Here is the first photo, a vertorama of 1 shot: the water was pushed 1 stop, and the water WB was adjusted. For the sky, I lightened the sky a bit in the upper central part - that's it!

Nice website you have, with many "ethereal" kind of shots. I also like the text font, but noticed you have a typo in your stylesheet: font-family: 'Habibi',Geogia,Times,serif; (second one should be Georgia of course). Also, it annoys me that I can't use the universal scroll feature by middle clicking on the page.
Anyway, looking forward to more of your experiences with the X-Pro1.
Thanks for the nice comments! Lol dennishh! - it is a buoy!
AhamB, it is a new website - I hope to change a lot of stuff, as soon as I find the time, e.g. make it more iPad/iPhone friendly etc, so thanks for the comments.
And I will put up more stuff about the X-Pro1 - especially manual focus...
I had an instructor in photo school that always said " if it looks like it shouldn't be there, take it out!" That was before Digital and Photoshop by a couple of years. This advice has payed big dividends over the years by avoiding the big question by the client, What is that !!!!!!!!
Manual focus is very hard on the X-Pro1, since when you click the magnification wheel, it enlarges way too much (10x?). You have to sit down when you do this.
I never really liked the peak-thing on the NEX, it is all over - I prefer doing it with the 4x magnification (9x is too much - I use this for tripod work). Same with the canon, manual focus using live view is doable with 5x, 10x is for tripod. What do you guys think? Very frustrating!!!!
card was charged today from adorama, and shipping status reads "packed" so i'm guessing it'll be on its way by monday (since it's shipped via 'UPS ground', and they don't ship on saturdays).
Here is a 67% crop (100% would be to wrinkly) from a snapshot I took earlier this evening of a elderly woman. I must say I like the focus roll-off and bokeh of the XF 35/1.4 lens.
(IQ a bit bad due to the camera was at aperture priority, and underexposed abot 1 stop, and got the white balance wrong - this was my fault, I was working to fast, she was in the shade, whereas most of the scene was in full sunlight (out of frame), but I thought this pic shows the quality of the lens and sensor)
