Subject: [Leica] Some Fuji X-T1 impressions

So, I have now had the Fuji X-T1 for 2 weeks and have been using it in 
Liverpool, Alicante and Brussels. I have to say that this is the first 
camera I have ever handled with a truly usable electronic viewfinder. I 
loved the hybrid viewfinder in the X-Pro 1 but with the X-T1 I have 
something almost as good?and I have true WYSIWYG and much better focus 
control than with the X-Pro 1. The AF on the X-T1 also seems faster and more 
accurate. All in all, I am getting a higher percentage of keepers with the 
X-T1 than with the X-Pro 1, using the same set of Fuji X lenses. And thanks 
to the split image focusing aid and the double image in the viewfinder, 
using my Leica M lenses is far easier and more reliable on the X-T1 than on 
the X-Pro 1. Finally, I love the form factor?a simple dial to change ISO 
speed, fancy that!

I think the X-Pro 1 will be put up for sale soon.

Cheers,
Nathan
