With all the new fangled, fancy pants, digital gee-wiz-a-bang’s being released seemingly on a weekly basis, I decided to stop!  I decided to stop buying the latest and greatest version of what I already have.  I have the Fuji XT1 and love it but I also KEPT my Fuji X-Pro 1, and here’s why.

1. Just because Fuji released something new does not make my X Pro-1 a bad camera.
2. The B&W I get from the X-Pro 1 is more like film than any other camera I’ve used, X100s a close 2nd
3. It’s focusing is fast enough, certainly faster than I can manually focus my Leica M6
4. It’s a pretty tough camera.  In fact I have my XE-2 repaired from a slight drop where as the X-Pro 1 still works
5. The X-Pro 1 fits my hands perfectly.  I love rangefinders and this is a rangefinder-ey as you can get……..
