How I shoot...

    Interested in learning how you use your X-pro. I found a gnurled nob for the tripod mount that adds a bit of 'holdibility'. I use my thumb to press the shutter (i need a soft button i think). I added a purple rubber band (from a broccoli stock) to keep dirt out. I use a Buff Cybersync and a vivitar 285 usually. i have the leash attached on the bottom of the cam, but want to get a nice wrist strap.

    Thanks Logan! Im having so much fun with it. omg i just sold my d2x on ebay (for 700). its the end of an era. im going to fetishize my x-pro with a half case and an adapter ring. still trying to figure out how to hold it though, cause i alwasys shoot with only one hand (the other has a flash in it)

    The fuji oem hand grip is a nice one to get. Try it out at store and see if you like it. I love mine.

    Vivitar 285?? Really? No issues with trigger voltage? I thought Fuji's X cameras were only compatible with Fuji slashes.

    no... i never put it on there, i always use a paul buff cybersync, which look like this: http://www.flickr.com/photos/c-brent/7236964450/in/photostream


    i think ill never put flash on camera anyway, light looks horrible coming from there, like a texas cop shining a light in a face
