[Leica] My next Leica body may be a Fuji XT-1

And exactly no problem with stray buttons here. Just goes to show how we
are all different in our habits. Having said that, I still prefer the feel
of the M8 (and the results when the light is good) but because of the
greater flexibility of the Fuji X-Pro 1 (far superior high ISO results,
macro capability), I tend to take the Fuji on trips and use the Leica at
home.

Cheers,
Nathan
