X-Pro3

Wow, congrats! I did almost the exact same thing a few months ago: getting rid of my beloved X-Pro3 because I was tired of it being almost a rangefinder to pick up an M10-P. Hope you like yours as well as I like mine!

I used a Nikon D70 as my first camera and I liked it. Moved on to Sony A7ii, and loved the upgrade and lighter body, but I couldn't love the EVF, so I moved on to Fujifilm X-Pro3. Its OVF was nice, but still didn't quite like the focus-by-wire, so I went to Leica rangefinder.

I bought mine used in 2011. The mirror fell out in 2016, which Canon fixed free of charge. Imagine if Fujifilm would honor this on the X-Pro3 ribbon cable…maybe I would own one.

I've owned the following cameras: GRi, GRii, GRiii, GRiv, X100v, X-Pro3, X100vi. I've given up trying to convince myself that I like Fujifilm cameras. I love the GR series and the GRiv is the best yet. Having said that, I think a ILC would be better as a "1st proper camera", so if you're really only

I don’t agree that I was critical, just honest about use-cases. There’s a good reason I sold my brand new X100VI and X-Pro3 (plus cash) to help fund an 8 year old M10, even though I have shot Fujifilm professionally since the X-T1 was released. My use case is very different to the OP.

Yesterday I posted my experience of trying an M-mount Zeiss Distagon 35/1.4 on a Fujifilm X-Pro3. TLDR: the results are not satisfactory. https://www.reddit.com/r/fujifilm/s/DRd6EE2RAu
