[Leica] Some Fuji X-T1 impressions

[John McMaster]

I found it failed in contrasty light and there was no workaround....

So, I have now had the Fuji X-T1 for 2 weeks and have been using it in Liverpool, Alicante and Brussels. I have to say that this is the first camera I have ever handled with a truly usable electronic viewfinder. I loved the hybrid viewfinder in the X-Pro 1 but with the X-T1 I have something almost as good—and I have true WYSIWYG and much better focus control than with the X-Pro 1. The AF on the X-T1 also seems faster and more accurate. All in all, I am getting a higher percentage of keepers with the X-T1 than with the X-Pro 1, using the same set of Fuji X lenses. And thanks to the split image focusing aid and the double image in the viewfinder, using my Leica M lenses is far easier and more reliable on the X-T1 than on the X-Pro 1. Finally, I love the form factor—a simple dial to change ISO speed, fancy that!

I think the X-Pro 1 will be put up for sale soon.

Cheers,
Nathan
