Thanks, Lluis.  I often use semi-manual when using manual lenses.  I let 
the camera software select either shutter speed or ISO.

I started with a used Leica III, from 1935, which had been converted by the factory to a IIIa.  That was my standard for a small camera.  As my small contribution to an OM list discussion, I posted this image, made this morning.

While I have mentally compared the Fuji X-E1 and the Leica IIIf, I had not put them side by side until today.  Not too different, wouldn't you say?
