The pancake 27mmf2.8 lens when mounted on the Xpro-1, it became a similar setup as a X100 (fixed 23mmf2 lens). The Xpro-1 body is slightly taller and thicker than the X100. 27mm is abit tighter in view compared to the 23mm. Although the x100 has a brighter F2 lens, most of X100 users know that at aperture f2 on X100, the image do suffer some flare/image softness. So most of the time when X100 was used, it is set at f2.8 at default. The 27mm lens has no aperture ring and the setting is done by the back dial on Xpro-1. The 27mm never disappoint in terms of sharpness and in do gave the image depths.
The ONA bag is now my all time favorite camera bag for mirrorless. I have used the Billingham Hadley Pro, Thinktank Retro 5, Lowepro Slim Sling and the various Domke bags. I find the one locking clip from the Ona bag Bowery is still the best. It is easy and fast to lock in after taking out the camera which is important when you are out shooting as you just want to focus on shooting instead of making sure your bag is secured. The Hadley pro, you need to pull and "squeeze" in the leather strap to lock it. The Domke bags, the clips can be quite tight and pushing in and out, will cause the locking rings to have deep scratches. The Thinktank retro bags are too heavy and the material on it is too rough for comfort.
The ONA's shoulder strap is smooth and just like the car seat belt, easy to move around the shoulder. It is in summary a joy to carry and use. The size is just nice for my 1 body and 4 lenses Fuji setup.
Here are some of the street shot I had with my Fuji Xpro-1 and 27mm (90% of the time is used) and 55-200mm. For travelling, a 27mm view on a 1.5 APS-C sensor is a balanced angle of view in my own personal view. Not too tight and not too wide.
