  1. <p>I'm starting to feel reluctant to carry my 5D mark III and 50mm 1.2 or CZJ 50mm 2.8 wherever I go and I'm considering either the x-pro1 or x-e2 for my everyday purpose.<br /> AF isn't that important as I might possibly use my m-lenses instead of Fuji lenses (might consider the Fujnon 18mm f2 lens though). Aperture ring and proper shutter control are a must since I shoot 90% manually and it feels unnatural to do my setting through the LCD screen. <br /> X-PRO1 is much cheaper than X-E2, but X-E2 seems to be a more advanced camera (plus it looks prettier and smaller).<br /> The main concern here is that I have never used EVF and I'm not too certain of manual focusing with the X-E2.</p>
  2. <p>Thanks Alex and Paul,<br>

    Unfortunately, the Canon 5D Mark III's focusing screen can't be replaced. I made a decision to sell my EF 50mm 1.2 as it's way too heavy and as I don't need the AF, I'd rather safe the cash and get another lens which is more compact for everyday use. I'm still not too sure whether to get the Zeiss 50mm 1.4 C/Y or Leica 50mm 1.4 (I need the 1.4 to shoot in extreme low light) though. </p>

  3. <p>The 50L and 5D Mark III are fairly new to me.<br>

    My first DSLR was the Canon 500D which I use with the Canon FD 50mm 1.4. But since FD lenses are not compatible with FF EOS and the Canon EF 50mm 1.4 feels tacky, I decided to get myself the 50L.<br>

    However, when it comes to manual lenses- I would rather go for a full manual lens which would allow me to set the aperture on the lens itself and I'm not going to get the ZF mount as Nikon lenses focus in the opposite direction.<br>

    I'm torn between the Zeiss 50 f1.4 C/Y, Canon 50mm f1.4 (which I still don't get why it's cheaper than the Zeiss when new) or Leica 50mm f2 (would prefer the f1.4, but since I have bad experience with adaptors- I'm not ready to spend my money on it).</p>
