I can, however, report that kitty allowed me to take another photo today at ISO 6400 (the max for RAW). It's pretty impressive. With my Canon 5D MkII I try to not exceed 1600, though 3200 (or even 6400 with some noise reduction software) will work in a pinch. Come to think of it, I do have some Contax Zeiss lenses (25mm Distagon and 50mm Planar, and a 35mm 2.8). They are from long ago in the film days. We shall see about the 60mm due Weds. Thanks to the LUG, I noticed that B&H allows returns within 30 days if one is not happy. I like my big Canon SLR's and lenses, but not so much when traveling.

Was one of the early adopters of the Fuji X Pro 1 who paid a premium at Usd1700 body only more than a year ago. Got the 35mm and later a Metabones adapter. So satisfied with the low light low noise sensor that I sold off my Nikon D700 which was only 6 months old then. Still only using the 35mm but now with the Fuji M adapter with the Leica, Zeiss and Voightlander lenses. Read elsewhere that the 60mm is slower and less sharp than the 35mm. Use the Fuji X100S too which covers the wider fields especially with the 28mm effective extension lens. F stop not affected by an additional lens. Very unlikely to get the X-E1 so can't tell the difference if any in terms of output from the respective Fuji lenses compared with the XPro 1. Anyone else who can?
