[Leica] IMG: Nostalgia

[Jim Nichols]

Thanks for your thoughts, Philippe.  The only thing I would add to the 
X-E1 would be an eye cup.  As a glasses wearer,  the stray light is very 
bothersome when outdoors.

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?
