I played with a Fujifilm XT1 last night at the darkroom, while waiting for my negs to dry. It belonged to the person running the darkroom. She also had a Nikon FM and the two cameras were almost the same size and weight, with a very similar control layout. I really liked the Fujifilm! Two issues: she said that above ISO 800 the images are noisy (not something I'm reading in reviews), and there isn't an obvious focusing aid in the viewfinder (hard to believe I didn't simply miss it)

I also learned that there are third party split-image focusing screens for the Nikon Df, which would address one issue I have with that camera.
