[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]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.
