My wife and older daughter with a Canon FD 50/1.8 on the Fuji XP2
Ooh! You got an X-Pro2???! What do you think of it?
So far I think it's brilliant. I've not had a Fuji before, but sold my GX7 based kit because I didn't 'bond' with it. My background is rangefinders these days, with a 1Ds3 and a couple of dslrs in the past.
I like it because it's the 'right' size and weight, has a great viewfinder and is fast. It feels like an agile camera - like my Zeiss Ikon with af and 8fps. Controls are good too, provided you like trad. It's a joy to use, being intuitive, fast and direct. The evf or the 'patch' both work well for focusing my old FD lenses (M lenses work too, but I've got bodies that take them directly), although the evf is much better if you're working close due to parallax. I've got 50/1.8, 55/1.2 and85/1.8 fd lenses that are coming out of retirement to pair with the wider end XF lenses.
Funny thing is, I nearly bought an XP1 as they're so cheap now, but decided to stump up for the XP2. I thought of it as a bike camera, to avoid rattling the rf mechanisms of my others to pieces or out of alignment, but it's become a daily carry and will probably go on holiday with me in the summer (when I have limited luggage capacity). Around town today I took the 18 lens, another day it might be the 35. All work well so far, although the 35/2 is the pick of the bunch from a useage perspective - very fast and almost silent.
