The main appeal of the X-Pro series is that you get a clear view optical finder like a rangefinder. For those of us who learned and continued to shoot with rangefinders (and rangefinder-like cameras such as the Hexar), the XPro series, along with Fuji'x X100x series, make it possible to shoot as with a rangefinder. This has nothing to do with film, it has to do with camera type. However, the X-Pro has the advantage that when you shoot with different lenses, you can switch to a digital finder (or use the screen) and get the standard through the lens view. This avoids the issue of accessory finders and tiny outlines in the center of the finder that wide and long lenses can cause. Regarding the topic of the article, this has been hashed over many, many times. JDM's comment about Adams and Brad's comment about Avedon make it clear that many great photographers have always used post-processing, always regarded it as a flexible process from start to finish.

The thing that is most different from most movies about how Roma is filmed is that it avoids closeups. The scenes are more broad and that feels very different.

A lot of modern "black and white" is color with the saturation turned down (or whatever) and it looks so sad--low contrast, muddy Have you seen Roma? Doesn't sound like it.
