thinking of getting the xf 27mm for my X Pro 1

I just had mine out. I noticed that when the OVF optical zoom is triggered with the 27 that it nearly matches the EVF FOV (the entire finder). At a 40mm equivalency this is close to one of my favorite film combinations that I have ever used: the M3 with a 40. The beauty here being the ability to switch between OVF and EVF and the FOV does not change!
 
I love the 27 so much I just sold my x100s and now have it permanently on my X-T1. It's a monster of a street machine it really is.

thanks for the reply I am really excited about using this lens, like yourself I do have a fondness for the 40mm focal length:)

If its good enough for you and the other responders in this thread, then its good enough for me:D I see on ebay that the silver body version goes a bit cheaper than the black version, I wonder what the silver lens on a black x pro 1 body would look like
