What do you believe is the reason?  The SLR-like LCD-optical path vs a
optical only RF?  The fact that the VF shows a bright image on the always

I expect you mean using MF with a non-Fuji lens.....

yes

you get far more in focus images with the Fuji body than with a Leica M8 or
M9, the more difficult the conditions, ie. a fast lens wide open , close
up...the more the fuji capacity to focus will exceed the Leica one.

I am sorry guys, but after years of using Leica M bodies, really it does...
