Jim Hughes is the former editor of Camera 35, from which I learned an awful 
lot of what I know.  And also Camera Arts. So I suspect he knows what he's 
doing.

Here's what I find really interesting.  This guy edited two seminal photo 
magazines and wrote books on Gene Smith and Earnst Haas. He edited the 
writing of master craftsmen like David Vestal. So what was his film RF gear 
before he went digital? Not a Leica. He prefers a Canon 7 and LTM Canon 
lenses. And he still wants to use those lenses on a modern mirrorless 
camera.  He says they see like he sees. Food for thought.

I'm a firm believer in RAW myself. But many users of Olympus E-series 
cameras who have found that the Olympus JPGs are so good that they can't do 
any better processing the RAWs. This of course assumes that they've gotten 
all the umpteen parameters set just right before they take the shot.

There was not a lot of RAW support for the Fuji X-E1 and X-Pro1 when they 
came out, so some people got used to shooting JPG. It was that or use 
SilkyPix.  :-)


Duh,  you think good sideways and horizontal...
