A week ago , I received my brand new X-Pro2 , on close out of course but way above my usual set limit .
Sorting out some old cameras [ not the Kontaxes !! ] and toys on e-bay to replenish some of the outlay .
One surprise are the prices for the Olympus MJU 1 and a gold Contax T2 gifted to me around 20 years ago.
All seem to work OK , but I was more of a hoarder , so never used them .
I could not care less about the IQ , or the sensor type , but the X-Pro1, despite it's irritations , handling and OVF have been perfect for me .
My previous purchases , X-T1 , 18-55 and X-M1 16-50 have been to add the standard kit lenses to the 2016 XP1 and 27mm.
I have been around long enough to recognise that the old 35-80 plus 50 or 45 is all i like to use , so those so-called kit lenses are ideal .
I am hoping that the XP2 will focus somewhat easier !

I love it , but so may options !
I had to download the manual as the paper book made me dizzy!
I actually have to put an[outdated mono ] filming the T2 just to ensure it is working .
An extra £100 from £200 for a spares camera .
Every little helps !

Sorry - film in the Contax so that I DO NOT sell at silly prices - even spares cameras are around £300 and a c--p squinty finder !
24 ex colour film waiting for cooler day to take it in.
I have given up rushing all this !
I have put the pair of Olympus MJU 1 on eBay , so see what happens .
