After 2 weeks in the Scottish Highlands shooting this little beauty I am impressed, it replaces my much loved x100f as my main small digital. I've paired it up with a voightlander F2 27mm ultron, which gives a slightly less wide feild than the 23mm that is the obvious choice: this suits me as I prefer a 50mm focal length on 35mm film cameras I use, and manually focusing isn't a hardship for me, but I appreciate it's not for everyone!
I've also tried old pentax lenses from film Cameras such as 70s/80s SMC pentax lenses, and this works, but focusing and stopping down is trickier, but can be done with a bit of patience.
I have found the camera just with one lens to be surprisingly versatile. The built in digital telephoto works well for a longer shots, and the built in panorama stitch does great at super wide landscape, and tilting the camera to portrait position then using panorama mode gives a pleasing letterbox aspect ratio. I've shamelessly overused both the telephoto and stitch and both of these wring everything out of the voigtlander 27mm lens, I've found it to be all I want in the bag!
As with my X100f, film simulations are a thing of wonder, I could live without the new dedicated film sim dial, but it is nice. Being able to shoot in mono and do raw conversions to other film modes, push and pull, adjust curves without needing to go to a PC is a winner too.
I struggle to find anything I don't like, I guess the android app is a bit clunky, and sometimes transferring images to a phone is a little flaky for me, but this is more a Bluetooth problem than Fuji's. This little camera is brilliant and I look forward to spending more time getting to know it.
