I’ve noticed a growing trend of Fuji X users out and about, particularly weddings but also 4 of us shooting at Castle Combe Circuit on Saturday (I’ve been there with my Fuji for 3 years and it’s the first time I’ve ever seen others). Would be good to hear any other user experiences here as after going back and forth a bit I’ve made the full jump to Fuji gear for all my work (weddings, property) as well as my personal stuff and couldn’t be happier.

The glass has always been exceptional but AF in particular has come a long way in the past year or so, I can now confidently shoot just about anything thrown at me with my little X-T10s. I understand the X-Pro2 has taken another step forward, so I’m looking forward in anticipation to the X-T2 if/when it comes.

I got a X100s as a companion to my Canon DSLR. Lovely build quality and great sensor and lens although I would prefer a slightly longer focal length. Also find selecting focal point can be a bit of a pain, would love a joystick like the new xPro2 has.

I've got an X Pro 1 and an X100T.

I never really got on with the XP1 but the X100T is pretty awesome, I use it more than any other camera now.

I think the slow AF on the X-Pro1 really lets it down. the AF is so much faster on X-E2 (v4 firmware), X-T1 and X-T10

I've really bought in as well, having sold on all Canon DSLR equiipment and currently have:-

X100 - This got me back into photography and is a keeper
X-E2
X-E1 IR Modified
X-T1

Fuji Primes - 14/23/35/56/90
Fuji Zooms 18-55/18-135/50-230
Samyang 8mm Fisheye

I'm very happy with my output (always room for improvement) and find that I'm taking a lot more pictures.

I'm also waiting (expectantly) for the X-T2

How are you finding the 90? I'm a 23/56 guy through and through but the 90 appeals to me quite a bit having owned and loved the Zeiss 135mm 1.8 on Sony FF previously.

I had an X100 which took great pictures but I hated the menu system with a passion. It had to go.

I don't used the 90 much (enough)

I mainly use the 23 and 14
