The X100's ND filter

Before the X100 I never really thought an ND filter would be of much use. I take that back now. For the heck of it, I tried it in a bright sunny day. Below is a before and after ND filter shot:

Fuji X100 | 1/1000 sec, f/8, ISO 200 | 1/70 sec, f/8, ISO 200

OK OK... I'm a convert now.

With firmware version 1.20, Fuji has finally made it easy to turn the ND filter on and off. I'm now using the RAW button (an odd choice from the beginning) as the ND filter button. Before this (when only the Fn button was customizable), when you try to turn on ND filter it'll ask you first yes or no. Then you select yes and click it. Now finally, one press it's on, one press and it's off. No fuss.
