I played with the Fuji and while it is a very nice little camera, since you have a substantial investment in Leica lenses, it is not a solution. Even with the adapter, focus and handling with Leica is a bear, much like it is with the m4/3's stuff. Your Noctilux will be next to useless on a Fuji. As to the ME, I see it as a stripped down M9, at about the new price of an M9. If you must sell an internal organ, I'd say wait for the M. M9 cameras have been showing up on RFF at pretty good prices lately ( there's a steel gray one there today that looks to be nice.) My M9 is my favorite still camera ever. -- Regards, Sonny http://sonc.com/look/ Natchitoches, Louisiana USA
