Fuji makes their X Pro 1/2 out of METAL Ten and Euro are both equally unhealthy against the dollar Fuji sells their bodies for sat $1400 Leica M cameras are better made and I am not going into whether an X Tran or Leica Sensor costs more? Say it costs twice as much retail is $2800 not $6800 Ditto lenses? Have you played with the 7 Artisans lenses? They are superb Leica should buy the company redo the QC and fit and finish a TINY bit, double the price (the L multiplier effect) Look a 28 1.4 for $500 no, now $1000?excellent > On Jun 21, 2019, at 5:08 PM, Ted Grant via LUG <lug at leica-users.org> > wrote: > > NATHAN mon ami! > ABSOLUTELY!!!!!!!!! > Any camera!
