I can put lots of lenses on it without needing calibration, and the APS-C sensor suits me. I like 85-90mm as a normal lens, and I can use my (physically smaller) 50's to get this angle of view with less bulk than I had to put up with on my M3 + 90mm. - Alan Alan Magayne-Roshak, Senior Photographer University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee Photo Services (Retired) UPAA Photographer of the Year 1978 UPAA Master of the Profession 2014 amr3 at uwm.edu http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/Alan+Magayne-Roshak/ "All the technique in the world doesn't compensate for an inability to notice.
