=============================================================
I love my X-E2.  I can put lots of lenses on it without needing
calibration, and
the APS-C sensor suits me. I like 85-90mm as a normal lens, and I can use
my (physically smaller) 50's to get this angle of view with less bulk than
I had to put
up with on my M3 + 90mm.
