Fuji Hi from the UK

[PaulJ]

Hello, I'm Paul and I live in the UK and I've been a keen photographer since I hit my teens in 1974.

I've recently joined sister sites Leica Place and Forever Film as the majority of my photography is on film but I also have an X-Pro1 and X100. I'm definitely not anti-digital but, as both digital and film have a lot of different things to offer, I see no reason to use one medium to the exclusion of the other.

Although I like to know how to get what I want from my cameras, I am a bit of a numpty when it comes to technology. I tend to be the one who actually reads some of the camera manual - mainly because I need to.

With smaller format (incl digital), I shoot mostly travel and documentary / street but I also love getting out and shooting landscapes.

Hope to meet you all over time. All the best, Paul.

Welcome Paul! Seen your post on the London Outing thread too. I'll be floating dates shortly - you would be most welcome.

Welcome. I thought of getting rid of my X-Pro 1 to finance another camera, but it's just too enjoyable to shoot. Something about its sensor that I find produces wonderful results with legacy glass, and the OVF with the X lenses is an absolute joy.

Hi and welcome Paul. You're in good company.

Welcome. I thought of getting rid of my X-Pro 1 to finance another camera, but it's just too enjoyable to shoot. Something about its sensor that I find produces wonderful results with legacy glass, and the OVF with the X lenses is an absolute joy.

The other consideration, for me at least, is that trade-in values for the X-Pro1 have really dived since the X-T1 and X-Pro2 have appeared. I might take the plunge for an X-Pro2 (once the price starts to drop in a few months time) but I'll probably keep the X-Pro1 as it's still in mint confition and I like having a couple of bodies so that I'm not forever changing lenses (I have the 23mm f1.4 and 56mm f1.2).
