[Leica] 60mm Macro on Fuji X Pro 1

[gwpics at me.com (Gerry Walden)]

Very interesting Howard, and thanks for posting. This lens is next on my 
list I think, but it is a toss-up between it and the 18mm. I am at a trade 
show next week when I hope to get more of an idea what is around the corner 
for this lens. In the meantime I have been ver impressed by the professional 
support package offered free by Fuji.

"Shot in jpeg since the RAW development program provided is not set up to 
work with OSX 10.7" - what makes you say this, as Silkypix is running fine 
on my computer with Lion installed. It appears to make a fine job of the 
.raf raws, but the jpegs straight from the camera through Lightroom 4 are so 
good I have not had cause to use it 'in anger' yet. 

I was shooting a major music event at 2500iso yesterday in a concert hall 
with stage lighting, and I was blown away by the results.

Happy X-Pro1-ing!

Gerry
