Popular Photography came out yesterday or  the day before and it has the
Fuji on the cover up against the Leica X1. I brought it up the stairs and
paged though it over a Biscotti (crumbs over everything) and espresso but
never saw the article. Tomorrow I will.
Both 1.5x crop. Which is better than a 2x crop. Which is better than Minox
format on a chip which is maybe  an 8x crop. We're all waiting for the first
full frame compact 1X crop a rangefinder would be nice. So would a
viewfinder. I'll take anything.
A Rollei 35 in digital form.
