They've fixed that with the micro prefix tweak to the system making for nice small pocket cameras like they should have been all along but I still don't know why I need to be shooting half half frame format. Its like the silver crunch in the 1970's. They're going to give you a deal and sell you half the silver for twice the money. Disk disk film during the silver scandal. Had the format been invented later on down the line when the sensors were getting better and better it would have not smelt so rotten in Denmark to me. Right now 1.5 is smaller than you want. 2x is great for people who love 4x6 snapshots. I would think that would not be the Leica users group mentality for the most part. I love the Olympus Pen name and look. but that should in fairness be an 1.5 crop cameras. And I think sooner or later it will be.
