Saw a lot about it in AP. I don't seem able to make up my mind.

At the moment I have an XE2 and an XPro, both with X mount lenses. With 
an M-to-X adapter I can also use my M lenses (and if pushed LTM lenses). 
The 18 - 25 zoom gives HUGE flexibility on either body and is a lens 
that Leica should have made (at an affordable price), but...

First, however, I have to take photos - and post them! Then maybe I can 
think about a change.
