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

[Ken Carney]

I don't know about stray buttons.  I just keep mine on aperture priority 
and auto ISO.  My only complaint is that the detents on the aperture 
rings are too soft - one light accidental touch and you go from 2.8 to 
16 or whatever.  Otherwise seems OK and a reasonable cost, about $5k or 
so for two bodies and three primes, definitely not Leica territory!
