Definitely your site has been a benefit to me. Thanks.<br /><br />I must say though that I have been a photographer for quite a while, way back into the film days and used the Hasselblad X-Pan (and Fuji Provia & Velvia films). I was most impressed with the lenses of that system. From all I've read in my recent research (including your sites) I'm expecting that I will be just as impressed with the XF23mmF1.4 R & the XF56mmF1.2 R lenses on the X-T1.<br /><br />Finally, thanks for putting the light leak issue into perspective... hmm, light leak...hmm, gaffers tape... hmm, fixed. Your pragmatism is refreshing when so much hysteria seems to float through the internet ether these days. (I’m just as guilty, at times, as anyone else.)<br /><br />BTW, in regards to the leak issue, my three decades of shooting film and darkroom experience before digital, I think gives me some claim to a bit of insight into the position of the Fujifilm. The X-T1 team seems to consist of a group of young, smart, talented and committed individuals. But with the exception of one or two older 'consultants' from the company's film side, perhaps none of them have been in a position to have absorbed the ethos of 'light control' that extends beyond the darkroom and even into the realm of 'change film in the shadow of one's own body' awareness.<br /><br />I have a great deal of confidence in the professionalism of this group and the approach of Fujifilm themselves to working with photographers. I'm pretty sure they will see this issue as an opportunity to grow.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
