Thank you Darren. I too have had a couple of refurbs off them, the original silver X100 included, and they have all been as new bar the price.

Instead of lens, try a very little hole in the lens cap :->

I hope so Beth, heard many reccomendations for that lens being the one to have if you only have one lens for that camera to start with.

Out of curiosity, I ran a spreadsheet on lens usage since getting all three lenses.

• 18mm—28%
• 35mm—33%
• 60mm—39%

In all pretty even. It will probably vary a bit over time, but not by a whole lot. The 35mm is by far the most spectacular fast lens I have ever used, when shot wide open. Stopping down any of them 1.0-2.0EV takes them to their optimum performance, though the difference is not all that visible. I trust all three totally at any aperture I would use. It is the classic photojournalist's kit and that is pretty much the way I shoot.

When I first got all three, I did a low light test in a classroom with half the lights turned off. I wanted to evaluate the results at high-ISO, wide apertures, and the ability of the camera and lenses to capture emotions and expressions as a decisive-moment camera. A winner in all three.

The camera proved to be invisible, allowing me to shoot life as it is lived, not as it is posed. I used a half-press in all cases to pre-focus, and focus was accurate to the point of choosing which nose-hair will be the sharpest. With pre-focus, the response felt instantaneous, and I had no problem at all catching the moment I wanted. I include all exposure EXIF data.

For candid people-photography, I can not imagine a better camera.

cheers for that info Larry, very interesting.

I seem to get more confidence taking photos in the street and of people candid style with my baby x10 than i do with Canon 7D & 24-70 lens as its far less noticeable & people generally ignore you even if they do see the camera So i am hoping that with the X Pro1 proves to to continue with this and hopefully better quality & control

I could have got the lens from calumet the same day i got the cam 2 weeks back as they had the lens in stock at about £489, but cos i am tight sod, i used a little camera shop in Bolton near my home town as there price for same lens was £419, but i had to wait for it, never mind i wasn't in any rush & saved £60
