Nice shots, though I hope the arrow missed the bird's nest.... The
portrait of Glen is excellent.
So - the old school split screen focus assist is a split screen
simulation in the EVF? That's cool...

Oh, the manual-focus aids on the X-T1 are pure voodoo magic. You can
have the basic does-it-look-sharp, or you can have focus-peaking
sparklies, or you can have split-screen like Dad’s rangefinder. Or
you can have dual mode, with a large-ish version of the image using
focus-peaking with a little miniature split-screen image off to the
side, an enlargement of the focus point.
I normally use the sparklies, because they give you DoF too. Here’s
how great it is: When I’m sitting at my cabin looking out over the
ocean with the Tokina 400mm strapped on, as I turn the focus ring I
can see the in-focus sparkly region sweep in or out across the
wave-tops. Of course this only works because of the huge brilliant
EVF. Which, by the way, flips the whole UI sideways when you go into
portrait mode.

Cool stuff, Tim.
When you say "manual focus assist" what are you referring to?
Something beyond the AF blink/beep we have on the Pentax DSLRs?
