I would love to see some black and white photography with the X-Pro1 and X-E1. I currently shoot with a Leica M8 and 80% of the time I convert my raw's to Black and White. I would like to see how the X series files hold up compared to other cameras for Black and White. I would like to see resolution, shadow detail, and highlight rendition. Some 100% crops would be good to see as well. I print on custom cut 27"x17" Exhibition Fiber and fill most of the paper up with my M8. I would like to see how well the X series performs at these print sizes or larger. I would also like to see some low light examples too, especially with the 35mm f1.4.
 
First one's at ISO 6400, second one at ISO 3200. Both are out-of-camera JPEGs.

Probably ISO 800 for the third and 200 for the fourth, which was shot into the sun under extremely high-contrast conditions. Again, JPEGs. I tend to like slightly clipped shadows so the camera is set up to deliver that. The RAW files contain additional shadow detail.

This is with the 35/1.4. Note the lack of veiling flare and the total absence of coma in the point-source water droplets.

Thank you very much.

I was able to take 6 or so shots. All of them had character, but this one stood out. I was afraid they would stop kissing, but from the body language I suspect they are still there...
