I love my new XE1 and I have used Leica 90 Elmarit, 21 Asph, 50 Summicron, 35 Summicron Asph lenses to test and all work great. Also love using the M9 as well. Last night I watched a Kelby training video online that featured well known American photographer Bill Fortney. He was shooting at Old Car City north of Atlanta which was fun to watch. Bill at one time worked for Nikon as a tech rep but is an accomplished photographer, workshop leader and author. He loved the D800 for fine art work but was also raving about his new Fuji XE-1 and the tack sharp Fuji lenses as well and was shooting with it in the video. Anyway fun to watch. Good Luck with your new XE1 Scott On 2013-09-11, at 6:55 PM, Steve Barbour <steve.barbour at gmail.com> wrote: > > On Sep 11, 2013, at 3:36 PM, "Julian Koplen" <jkoplen at sc.rr.com> wrote: > >> Many thanks to Steve and others who answered my inquiry.
