[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]I had an XE-1 which became my chief ( only!) camera in a trip to Canada. ( My M9 cover glass fell off). I used M lenses with it. I used it extensively, and the images it created were more than good. My ONLY dislike with the Fuji is the APS-C sized sensor. I am a wide angle shooter. The cropped sensor magnification drove me nuts.... paying a lot of money for lenses that produced ( on the XE-1) a non- wide angle view was a no go for me. I sold off the body and went Sony. But this was a personal preference of the way I see.... not a comment against Fuji. ( PS: and the Fuji menu system is substantially better.)

I played with Henning Wulff?s Sony for a bit and decided I didn?t want to learn another complex menu system. Also, I have an inventory of Fuji equipment so if I go for an IBIS body it will likely be the Fuji. I wish Doug good luck in finding a buyer for his Sony on the LUG - keeping it in the family so to speak.

A magnified focus ability ( I do not use the focus peaking function) gives the user the ability to focus correctly, even in low light. Leica glass is superb.... ( this past week I was blown away with the performance of the 38-70 R lens on my Sony A7rii, but M glass is as good.....) The combination is just beyond good..... Add the Techart M to Sony adapter for AF and Bob's your uncle...... Now you still have a choice.... Sony (FF)? Fuji ( APS-C)? Doug Herr is selling his modified A7rii, which was setup for using Leica glass on the Sony body.......hint hint..... Frank Filippone _______________________________________________ Leica Users Group.
