Here're some impressions from my recent trip to Japan (mostly a business trip but we took a few days off):

Yes, it took a little while till I warmed up with it but I think it's a nice one.

I wished it had a smaller body though.

Do you find it enjoyable to use the pro-1 ? I'm not sure if your comment above is with regards to the pro-1 or the lenses. Do you tend to use the evf or the optical view finder ?

Well, the lenses are just lenses. [Image: biggrin.gif]



I have only used the EVF. Optical viewfinders are pointless for me - BC will disagree, of course. [Image: wink.gif]

I hope that Fuji will release a smaller body without the OVF. It just just a waste of space.

Yea; and with a higher quality evf.

-

I know this is off topic but can you (from personal usage) compare the evf on the nex/pro and em-5. As I noted in the pro-1 thread I was a bit surprise you found the nex-7 evf >> em-5; but as I also said my usage was indoors where the nex-7 flickered.

Low light is exactly where an OVF might be useful <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='Wink' />

I prefer a slow, amplified EVF view over a dark OVF any time actually.

This is a phantom pain IMHO.

Ok, so the 60mm is here as well now.

Be careful with the 60; there has been a couple of reports of the lens literally unscrewing itself and falling apart !



Amusing in some sort of fashion when we start talking about things like centering.
