CHARLES, I AM PLEASED TO HERE, THAT YOU NOW HAVE AN XT1, BUT IT IS VERY SAD NEWS ABOUT YOUR FRIEND WHO LEFT IT TO YOU.
I HAVE JUST SOLD MY XT1, PLUS LENSES ETC. IT IS A FANTASTIC CAMERA, CAN'T FAULT IT, BUT EVEN THOUGH IT WAS A LOT LIGHTER THAN A DLSR, I DID FIND IT TO SMALL, AS I HAD TO USE IT WITH MY LEFT HAND, EVEN WITH THE BATTERY GRIP IT DID NOT FEEL RIGHT, I WAS HAVING TO USE IT UPSIDE DOWN, SO THAT I USED THE SHUTTER BUTTON ON THE VERTICAL GRIP.
I HAVE SINCE BOUGHT A D700 ALSO GOT A D3S IN PART EXCHANGE FOR MY FUJI GEAR.
I AM REALLY LOVING THE FULL FRAME EXPERIENCE, EVEN THOUGH THEY ARE HEAVY THEY FEEL RIGHT IN MY HAND, ALSO I CAN ALWAYS USE A TRIPOD. I ALSO BOUGHT A TAMRON 24-70 2.8 VR, WHICH IS A TRULLY FANTASTIC LENS ON FULL FRAME.
I REALLY HOPE YOU ENJOY THE FUJI CHARLES, I AM SURE YOU WILL.
