I hope you are as pleased with the X-Pro1 as I am with mine. I have steered clear of the 18mm as yet because I understand that there are other wides on their way, although I was told by the Fuji rep on Thursday that there were no new lenses proposed at the moment (that he knows of) which will be shorter than 18mm, or longer than 60mm. I was also told that the 18mm is a little soft, but your shot(s) tends to suggest otherwise. Today I added the 60mm to the stable as I need it more for my type of shooting that the wide, and because I can only afford one additional lens at the moment. Please share back with me any comments you have about the camera, either on list or off, as I am very interested; and of course keep these great shots coming.
