[Leica] Fuji GFX compared to Leica SL

[John McMaster]

The S2 was the first camera to be smaller than a pro FF - compared to my R9/DMR

>From what I read and saw, I believe the new fuji aims at bringing more acreage into a body that can actually be carried and used on the field like a FF.
I don't know its specs but the ergonomics speak volumes. Not much larger than a Nikon, and features the wheels of an XT-1/2.
Trying to compare it with a 500CC equipped with a digital back is questionable; different cameras for different uses I guess.
