Fuji 100x then X Pro 1 what do l get next?

[nickthetasmaniac]

I own and l'm very happy with my Fuji x100 and my X Pro 1... l have around £500 to spend.

If you're happy with the two (very capable) Fujis you already have, how bout Option #5 - spend the £500 on tickets to Iceland or Budapest or wherever takes your fancy and take some awesome photos?

BINGO! If you cannot make great photos with the gear you have, more is not going to help.

I have an x100 and xpro 1 with far too many lenses.

It's Iceland for me!

Take care,

Lou

Neither of these...Wait for the X-pro2
Or, save bit, go get a X-E2 just for now. Fuji is releasing new firmware for X-E2 around thanksgiving to match the X-T1's, worth buying IMO.

I sold my minty X-E2 and new 35/1.4 for $800, lol

A compromise, I am more than happy with my X100 and my X Pro 1 but l still need a second body so that l can have my 18mm mounted on a fuji body as well as my 35 1.4 mounted on my X Pro 1 body. So as af speed is not really a big thing for me l have bagged an XE-1 for £140 the rest of the money l will spend on a trip to Gibraltar to see friends and take a few shots along the way

I do appreciate everyone's input and thoughts contained within this thread, as usual your help is gratefully🙂 welcome

The X-T1 is faster and more versatile than the other options. The newest firmware is a true upgrade. The X-T1's strengths may not be important to your photographic goals.

I agree...

not sure what firmware is present on my soon to arrive XE-1 what is the latest firmware available for the XE-1

If I were in your shoes, and I sorta' am, I think I would hang tight and wait a bit. Why? I think the XP2 *may* be just around the corner. Well, maybe it is a few more corners, but I'd wait. No harm if it doesn't show up, by say the new year, as all the other kit will be cheaper and/or updated. You can use the time to save up.

Personally I agree with above, not sure whats else you need with your kit
my x100 for digital street, with M5/M6 with a 35 & 50mm Summicron lens is all I need…. I'm waiting for XProII, if that turns out to be a dud I'll get a used XT1…..
?? good luck

Well the XE1 has arrived and is the new home for my 18/2 XF, it sits nicely in my Billingham next to my x Pro 1 and X100, the XE1 camer with firmware 2.40 loaded and 3.10 for the lens

very happy indeed

1 Buy whatever is the most expensive option, you have more money than sense and don't really need another piece of kit.
2 Spend the money on going, seeing and doing photography, you have money and some sense.
3 Give the money to someone who needs it more than you, you have a human soul.

I own and l'm very happy with my Fuji x100 and my X Pro 1, l have both the 18/2 and the 35/1.4. now my question is this, l'm toying with buying a second fuji body so that l can ave one body mounted with the 35 and the other with 18mm.

Since I was happy with my Fuji X-Pro1, I decided to buy a second body.

Too much gear. Iceland is a perfect idea.
