Bought a Fuji X - Pro 1 after years of film only Leica work. Super camera, pluses need no comment. However:
Optical Viewfinder is not frame accurate as is the Leica. Photographer adjustment for off center framing is necessary, even after the viewfinder adjusts after auto-focus. Any advice as to warranty service adjustment here would be appreciated.
Eyepiece needs an after market add on eye piece for vision correction. At the price paid, why? And, they are hard to locate.
Biggie: The use of lenses other lenses with an adaptor will not allow the shooter to work with the viewfinder in optical mode.... must view the screen......... Am I wrong here? No ability to see focus, even when manually sharp.
A note: it is pleasure to use, save for the thumb of the user, me, constantly moving the AE-L, AF-L and Q buttons.
Build and design is first rate.......... needs a fine quality zoom from 24 - 200. Them an almost perfect camera.
The FN and ISO change over on the top is spot on. Enjoy going from high light to low light venues and changing the ISO as see fit.

If you need diopters for vision correction, try mainline photography in Sydney. I got one for my XP1 from them. They are $AUD30 each.

The OVF is perfectly usable for manual focus lenses if you either (a) scale focus; or (b) use the EVF magnifier, which can be accessed in OVF mode by pressing in on the rear thumbwheel. A half press on the shutter button reverts to OVF. It's very fast.
