Due to the price down of this camera, I bought it again and this time added a WCL-x100 wide conversion lens with it. The total price of the X100+conversion lens is equal to a new 23mmf2 WR XF lens.
My current XT-1 system lacks the 28-35mm range in terms of full-frame figures.
X100 still remains special to me, When I review back all my photos in my hard-drive, most of the keepers are from X100. I had the Xpro-1, XE-1, XE-2 & XA-2 before but it is the X100 that I keep going to pick it up as my first choice. There is something made right in the X100 series. Maybe it is that tiny fixed-lens with 9 blades aperture with the metal aperture ring or that hybrid viewfinder that made the difference. The built-in ND filter and the built-in macro mode also made this fixed-focal length camera a convenient tool.
It does not have the current fast AF speed of the X cams or whistle & bells of the fourth edition X100F but it does still have the soul and capability of nailing the shots.
The clicking sound of the aperture lens felt much more like a real film era lens than the XF lens like my 35mmf1.4, The sound of the "squeezing" leaf shutter still make my heart beat compared the DSLR shutter sound made by the XT1.
As it is bought at a low price now, there is no fear of losing it or damaging it thus I am more keen on experimenting different shots etc
