It was either in my brief case, my jacket pocket or my hand on any given day. So maybe the X1 could be the new T2. And the M9 the new G9 - assuming I come into a little Lotto money. My point is that with that fixed focal length 2.8 lens, I grabbed a lot of nice shots, most of which enlarged to 11x14 no problemo.

How many tens of thousands of photo jobs were done with a photographer heading out the door with just a Rolleiflex in their hands. Or a Speed Graphic?
