The image quality crushes digital Ms. You can get used to the AF quirks with 
practice. I would like a wide angle lens that is not a 28mm fov. I don't 
like that (unflattering to people; too narrow for architecture), but 
unfortunately, Japanese manufacturers love the 28-50-90 lens setup. Contax 
G, Hexar RF, now Fuji...

Aside from the 14mm, the short wide angle stabilized zoom looks interesting. 
 We will see that and the Leica system at the German show this fall, I'm 
sure.
