Also bought a used XT1 w/18-55 lens. Both from BH.
I bought the XP1 because they are stupid cheap now and I like this style camera. Mostly, I bought it to use legacy OM lenses with. After I opened the camera, charged the battery and put in an SD card, I mounted a low cost adapter and a 24mm Zuiko lens. Set the camera to no lens, aperture priority, EVF, and Bob's your uncle. Manually focusing via the EVF is easy peasy. So now, I've got a few old lenses I can use with this camera (as well as the XT1 and the old OM-1's I still have and use on occasion.
All that said, I found a used 35mm f/2 Fuji lens which will be the main one I use with this camera. The camera came with the most current firmware (I had to update the used XT1 from 3.1 to 4.3).

I'm looking forward to seeing how you get on with it!

My oldest son just tried a couple pictures using it with a Zuiko 35mm f/2.8. He's never had to focus a lens before! It's really a great camera to use with a legacy lens so long as you use the EVF.

Good call. The 35/2's AF is quick on the X-T1 and faster than the 35/1.4 on the X-Pro 1.

I still like the output from X-P1 better than those from the X-Ts and the X-Es.
