[Gerry Walden]

Ted

As I think you know I used an X-Pro1 for a couple of years, and I am now back with a Leica M9. Please don’t do it!!! You will not be happy.

I never thought I would go with a fully electronic viewfinder but the one on the Fuji is so good, and provides so many useful features, that I converted.
