I opened these in Capture One since it seems to do a better job with the Fuji than Lightroom (not sure why, but after looking at Howard's post on that subject I thought I'd better check it out). The 35mm looks like it will be fine. If I had a 28mm and 75mm equivalent, life would be good. Fuji has an 18mm (27) and 60mm (90) but from what I have read those are not as good as the 35. Fuji does have a 14mm (21) that is supposed to be excellent also, and Fuji and Zeiss will be adding more lenses. If I do my part 12x18 prints will not be a problem and I can live with that, especially as a tradeoff for a smaller travel outfit. C&C always appreciated.

On my screen it looks fine, but the LUG image looks way too contrasty. Maybe the conversion from Adobe RGB to Srgb?) http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/kcarney/fujitest3.jpg.html
