[posted earlier today: Video: XF 56mm + X-T1 quick focus speed test here.]
There is a time for the rumors, a time for the reviews, a time for the X-T1 delivery check… and then there is a time to (finally) go out and take photographs. That’s what I’ll do now on this sunny and mild Sunday.
And to keep the spirit of today’s X-shooter zone, I’ll take black&white shots only. That’s my “limitation of the day”.
So here are some more X-shots from X-shooters all around the world. There are many ways to share your passion and shots with FR. Via email (fujirumor@gmail.com), google+, twitter and keep up sharing also on the FR-facebook wall.
enjoy your Sunday
Patrick

Hello Patrick.

Very interesting results. Take a look at: http://www.ehnamour.com/

Black&White photography is my favorite way of express myself. The absence of color gives me the necessary abstraction for a truly unveiling of the world… without influences…
That’s why I would like to share with Fuji Rumors followers my 2014’s project: Colorless Impressions
All photohraphs taken with Fuji X-E1 and X100s.
The project’s website is hosted at tumblr and can be found at http://colorlessimpressions.com/

Hi There!
I’ve been an avid follower of your site ever since the X100 came out (and I subsequently started drooling at it). Since then, I’ve made the move from a Canon full frame system and a few L lenses (and a lot of RAW reliance) to the X-Pro1 and 35/1.4, 18/2.0 lenses.
Ever since the release of the Leica Monochrom as well, I have been thinking about the effect that a fully monochrome camera could have on my photography, the comfort level I would have to overcome and the change it would bring to my prespective of the scene I’m photographing.
Before you wonder; no, I have not bought a Leica Monochrom as I am still not made of money.
The other realisation I came to recently was that the JPEGs coming out of my X-Pro1 were by far cleaner, sharper and had better noise performance than anything I could ever achieve out of the X-Pro1 RAW files and Lightroom. So the conclusion? I’ve decided to shoot my X-Pro1 one in JPEG only, BW film emulation only and do some very light retouching in Lightroom (yes, the Dynamic Range in these JPEGs is that good).
In my latest blog-post, you can find my the outcome of my first trip using nothing but in-camera JPEG and in BW; in Istanbul, Turkey.
Hope you enjoy it and keep up the great work!

Hi Patrick,
Since I saw the X-E1 I knew this is the one. I waited 3/4 years to let it drop in price. For me it is the perfect combination of quality and size. I always take my camera with me. I started do do a self study project. I found a beatiful book The Visual Toolbox from David duChemin. It’s about learning visual tools to add to your toolbox. I learn a tool every week. So i force myself to make 3 good prictures and publish hem on Flickr http://www.flickr.com/photos/108772254@N05/
I hop from one chapter to another, just what i like, and practice the visual tool for a week. Inspiring and fun!!
Af course i also studied Rico Pfirstingers book as a technical basis. But this book from David is different from anything i read before, Stop looking for gear (although difficult wiht the beatiful line up of lenses from Fuji) and study, study, study. Have fun.
Maybe there are more people who can get inspired by the self study idea or would like to join a Flickr group.
Greetings

Hi Patrick,
My story is the following: I was enthusiast about my first Nikon DSLR back in 2007, until during my first long trip with it I started experiencing pain at my shoulder. During that trip I bought a second hand F3 and switched back to film. I kept shooting film on Nikon F3 and Leica M6 until 2012, when I tried an X100. The camera is quirky sometimes, but its small size and excellent image quality more than compensate for the occasional lost shot. I have also learned that it is better to learn to live with the shortcomings of a certain camera and overcome then, rather than changing every year. My travel bag restrictions are hard sometimes, but the X100 fits everywhere, making it an ideal companion for travel as well as everyday life.
I have spent quite some amount of time in ordering and editing the photos, seeing how they work next to each other, escaping the paradigma of the “best shot”. The blurb books make the whole projects shine in a completely different way in comparison to the website.
