1/2 the price? Foveon quality?

I tried the DP-1 for a bit; in my personal opinion an almost 
unuseable camera, but still, some people like it. The DP-2 is better, 
but not enough.

On the other hand, if you have Leica lenses, why would you want an 
X-1? Used M8 prices are pretty close to X-1 prices, and while the X-1 
has autofocus, I doubt that it has as little lag as the M8.
