I presume that many of the Xtogs on this forum got into the X-system for it's redefined retro design, as well as the image quality. I've found that my photos with the X100 and X-Pro 1 are different from those I take with my digital Pens, especially when I use the optical finder. I shot with film RFs before (occasionally still do), and I tended to pre-visualize and take more time in composing and focusing vs. on an SLR. While the hybrid VF Xs do benefit from AF, the fact that you have to mentally account for parallax and the relatively slower AF, lead me to use my X's the same way as my RFs, and so I tend to use them for more quiet, reflective subject matter, where I pay more attention to composition. The photos I take with my Pens are more spontaneous, and I do far more cropping after the fact with the m43 images. What about you?
