[Leica] Highly Intelligent Crop Factor Overview

[Philippe]

I went from crop x 2 to full frame for various reasons, then I'm now back to 1.5 x.

The best compromise for me to this day I think.

But it is true I hate carrying three bodies when I can just have one and I expect an only camera to shoot from UWA to long tele shots.
Of course, YOMV

Still having both cameras, I'll try to post a comparison shot of D700 with a 1.4 50mm and X-T1 with 1.4 35mmm later in the day/week.
Different birds, different feathers for all I know.

> Smaller format sensors can use smaller lenses. Less weight is important to many of us. Leica lenses are small but heavy.
> The Fuji kit is small light and effective. A properly selected Nikon kit can do as well. Probably Canon too. 
> What you get with small sensors is tighter angle of view. More telephoto, if you will.  Good for the birders and sports guys. 
> What you lose is on noise ( given same pixel count the sensor spacing is tighter which equals higher noise).  You also lose big time on wide angle use. If you are a really WA shooter, then small sensors are a pain. You need to get new really WA lenses or change how you shoot. 
> If you want MFT,  APS-C, or Minox then go for it. Just know the advantages and challenges for your way to shoot.
