I see X-T1 but failed to find anything for X-E1.  Thanks for trying.

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.

Consequently, I have enjoyed the Fuji offerings and will probably remain in that camp. 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?
