Took my x-pro1 to the national zoo with a couple of good friends. Hope nobody minds me sharing about a dozen photos from the day. I'm quite happy with the results. I used the 35/1.4 lens and also my 100/4 SMC macro Tak and my 200/4 SMC Tak.
Focusing with the adapted lenses was quite easy. But, handholding on a cloudy day (dim lighting) with the 200/4 was very difficult. All the photos with that lens came out reasonably sharp, good enough for small web prints anyway, but critical sharpness was somewhat rare. Bringing along my tripod would have helped but would have seriously annoyed the crowds at the zoo.
A lot of the photos below we taken at ISO 3200. Some were two stops underexposed at ISO 3200 and recovered quite nicely. I've tried to take similar photos in the past, years ago with my D70 and more recently with my E-P2 and the photos were hopelessly noisy and unusable. The x-pro1 lets me go where no camera (of mine) has gone before....successfully.
I had a great time and I really love the camera and the results it delivers.
^^golden lion tamarin
^^beautiful little jellyfish. About the size of a silver dollar, not including the tendrils
^^pygmy falcon. the slight grid patterning in the photos is because the photo was taken through a fine metal mesh. Unfortunately, this situation affected a lot of my photos but it cannot be helped. This is an example of a photo that was 2 stops underexposed at 3200 iso.
^^a lioness getting a bit of a bath
^^the frogs are among my favorites at the zoo
^^owls are another favorite.
^^sure wouldn't want to find this guy on my deck. good thing I don't have a deck
^^somebody got a bit turned around, oops
^^this guy just kept going back and forth, back and forth
^^the nautilus is my favorite animal, hands down
^^meerkats have very expressive faces
^^ugly sucker was looking straight at me! kind of freaky
^^ending with probably the cutest photo I have ever taken - a shy prairie dog

Here is a shot of one of the Ranthambhore, India Tiger Reserve park rangers and his
magnificent mustache - taken with the Macro 60
and lightly processed to B&W in CS5. 1/90 @ f5.6 ISO 500:

The next frame in the folder is a crop of the close up of the ranger's eye.
Please look large in both cases. The quality is really quite amazing IMHO.

Well, keep experimenting I´d say: that first shot is truly brilliant, I like it very much!

Shot with the 35mm 1.4 at ISO 6400 in available light at twilight my dark living room. I did adjust levels, sharpen slightly and add a bit of grain in LR4.

I have been playing with my R-D1 so much recently that the XP1 has hardly had a look in., but you got to love those Fuji colours!

shooter of stuff
Went down to visit some friends last weekend. They own a yoga studio and I wanted to do some promo shots for them. So we set up an impromptu studio in their studio.
It gave me a chance to try the XPro1. I believe this was with the 60.

I have to tell you, I am using this new system for 90% of all my photography now! I have the Voigtlander Super Wide Heliar 15mm f/4.5 M coming today as well. The only thing that I am using my Canon system for now are Lightning shots and high speed water drop collisions! I still have a Panasonic GH2 Infrared system as well and when I travel I will take the XP1, X100 and GH2 ONLY!

these photos were taken in Seoul,
Portraits with the 35mm and landscapes with the 18mm. I don't have much subjects to use the 60mm on.
the 35mm is the best 50mm I've used. Very very sharp, even wide open. It also gives an amazing 3D effect on the photos
