I like the crop sensor on my X-E2, keeping a (nicely small) 50mm lens on it to give me almost an 85mm angle of view. I seldom use anything wider than a 50mm equivalent unless I need a perspective control lens for architecture. -- 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.
