The Lens Mount

I was pretty convinced the X-Pro1 would be the next camera for me, but these pictures by Roël Dixon-Mahatoo sealed the deal. Check em out!

I've been waiting for a Leica like, digital rangefinder camera with smaller than DSLR size, but with equal or better image quality than a midrange DSLR.  Finally the Fujifilm X-Pro1 has arrived. (yes I realize it isn't a rangefinder) It seemed like an obvious market gap to me.  What I wanted was a camera that provided some of the benefits of owning a Leica M9 , but at a more reachable price point.  I used to dream about voigtlander  coming out with a digital version of one of their rangefinders in the sub $2k price range.  Again not a Leica, but also not $7k. The high ISO performance of the X-Pro1 seems amazing along with image sharpness, and the bokeh provided by its 35mm f1.4 lens . It does have some drawbacks, but none that I couldn't live with (given my shooting style).  Hopefully there will be enough interest in this photographer's camera that can sustain a market for it. Its always fun to have that next piece of equipment to dream about buying one day.
