Fuji XPro 1

About a year ago, I bought my daughter a Fuji XPro 1 camera. Since then she's taken it on a seven month backpacking trip in Europe as well as three months at her summer camp job in the Sierras. It has been a fantastic camera. But she only has the basic 35 mm (50 mm in 35 mm equivalent) lens and additional Fuji XF lenses are too pricey for a college kid.

Well . . . I bought her an adapter for Nikkor and another adapter for Canon FD, $20 each. Miracle! Now she can use all my old manual lenses, and we have dozens.

These old manual lenses are excellent. She, so far, likes:
- Nikkor 50 mm f1.2
- Nikkor 85 mm f1.4
- Canon FD 24 mm f2.8
- Canon FD 17 mm f4.0

She's not a big zoom fan.

So I'm thinking about buying one for myself. What do we think about the XPro 2?
