Your X-Pro1 draws beautifully. The tonality in your portrait reminds me of well-exposed B&W CN film. Smooth and subtle tones, yet sharp. It would be very interesting to see a portrait such as this, taken of the same subject with both the M9 and the X-Pro1. Not to see which camera is "better," but to see how they draw differently. --Peter > Whilst we were out on Sunday my wife picked up my new Fuji X-Pro1 and > pressed the shutter without any adjustment at all.
