The camera didn't stand out from regular MP's as far as I was
concerned, with the exeption of the counter dial - which you may
prefer or not. The frame lines available were nice, but only, of
course, if you only intend to use those lenses.
Speaking of lenses, the 'classic' mount style of the 50/1.4 ASPH made
it clear how much larger it is than the old Summilux. With hood it
looks considerably larger than the 75/2. That was the biggest visual
difference in the set.
