Story
My second try with the brand new X-E5, this time paired with a different lens. A short city walk to get to know this camera a bit better. Unfortunately, it has quirks I cannot live with: when using back-button focus, focus peaking only works after moving the manual focus ring slightly; the camera also has a 2–3 second startup time. Combined, these issues cause me to miss shots in street photography where speed is crucial. The higher resolution does not benefit me and the extra film simulations do not justify the high price tag. This one goes back.
