“I much prefer the rangefinder style, but the Graphite X-T1 changed that” (michaelrcruz – with electronic shutter samples)

X-T1 Graphite Silver + 56mm @ f1.2, 1/10,500, ISO 200, Classic Chrome

[UDPATE: more samples taken with the electoronic shutter also here at neillsoden]

I’ve read and heard several times, that no picture on the web does justice to the beauty of the graphite Fujifilm X-T1. And Michael R. Cruz confirms it in his review here:

“I have to admit, if I haven’t own the black X-T1, I would definitely go with this one. I might even sell my black X-T1 and get this one, that’s how much I like the Graphite Silver, but that’s purely subjective. This color is so much sleeker and it gives the X-T1 a more retro look. I felt like the black one is not “retro” enough, compared to X-Pro1 or X100s, but the “graphite silver” color gives the X-T1 that retro kick it lacks. To me, it is gorgeous! I was never a fan of how the X-T1 look/form, I much prefer the rangefinder style, but I think, the Graphite Edition changed that.”

He tested a pre-production graphite X-T1, and posted also some samples taken with the new electronic shutter (which, I remind you, also black Fujifilm X-T1 owners will get in December via firmware update). I’ve posted a sample above, for more, check out michaelrcruz’s review here.
