I was considering ordering the Fuji EX-1 with the18-55 and the 35 1.4. What do you think of the 18-55 so far as image quality? Thx, Ken -----Original Message----- From: lug-bounces+kcarney1=cox.net at leica-users.org [mailto:lug-bounces+kcarney1=cox.net at leica-users.org] On Behalf Of Nathan Wajsman Sent: Tuesday, June 11, 2013 3:20 PM To: Leica Users Group Subject: Re: [Leica] Mini Me M release Yes, but let me give you some additional perspective: - the Fuji provides excellent image quality all the way to ISO 6400. This may or may not be an issue for you--it is for me. - I fully buy into your statements over the years that cameras work best with their own lenses. The Fuji, however, is the first non-Leica camera on which I have ENJOYED using my Leica M lenses - and for travelling super-light, the Fuji with the 18-55mm zoom is just the ticket. This is what I will be taking to Brussels next week.
