[Leica] Nathan's PAD 17/11/2015: testing the new Fuji 35mm lens

[Jayanand Govindaraj]

Jim,
I went through a trip to China last year basically with the X100S and
a 56mm mated to the XE-1 (35mm/85mm), and it worked very well. I was
just thinking that for shorter trips the 35mm f2 would work well, till
I realized that the X100S would probably work even better! Sometimes
my brain gets fogged up when talking equipment, and in the excitement
of something new appearing, I forget that I have a perfectly good
solution with me already! Luckily, most times I realize that in time!
Not always, though!

Cheers
Jayanand
