Nice solution. Pity for me that I s*ck at anything DIY. I would likely scar my lens and myself attempting that. I spell ‘Do it Yourself’, “VISA”!

I am anxious to now do some street tests myself with my 18mm, but I have a silly question; where did you get that black rubber band to stop the focus barrel? I have looked around, but no luck. Any info you have would help – thanks!

X100 is faster in this respect thanks to the leaf shutter.

As street camera to capture face expressions which doesn’t last very long X-E1/X-Pro 1 is less ideal choice than X100. And X100 a lesser choice than a DSLR with their big flapping mirror (!) if it solely comes down to the full shutter response.
