The author of “Mastering the X-PRO1” contacted me. He compiled a comprehensive reading sample of the English and German version of his book. If you are interested, this sample pages will give you a good impression what to expect. It’s really interesting, like at page 109 (chapter 2.4), focussing with the X-PRO1. He explains the differences (PROS and CONS) to the DSLR focus and there are also 10 practical focus tips… you can read 4 of them in this sample version. Enjoy reading!
