[Leica] Fuji v Leica, and Alamy

[Nathan Wajsman]

There may be other variables at play, for example the lenses you are using. In any event, the respective sample sizes do not allow for drawing statistically meaningful conclusions yet.

Cheers,
Nathan

>>> As most of you will know i was a Fuji X-World photographer shooting with two  X-Pro1s and a variety of lenses, and I was fairly happy. However in July last year I moved back to Leica after about 13 years and purchased a used M9. I had shot with Leica Ms for many years but changed when I made the decision to go digital, and Leica simply did not have a digital body, and appeared to have no intention of producing one. It cost me a lot of money to switch back but I was rapidly approaching 70 and decided if I couldn’t have what I wanted at my age it was a sad world!

I am always very careful about quality when I submit because they are pretty fussy, but I found that I was only getting about a 50% acceptance rate with the Fuji cameras, and could never work out why. The images looked fine to me on the screen. It was a real problem.
