I have just sold my X-T1 and lenses, did not get on with it and always 
picked up a Leica in preference...

Got a chance to meet a buddy for lunch.  He has an XT-1, and I had the Leica 
M to Fuji mount adapter.

I am so impressed with the split screen V in the XT-1.  Looking into the 
camera, you have a standard (EVF) viewfinder image, and on the right, an 
enlarged center of the image so you can focus really accurately. 

It is so easy to focus accurately..

And I thought the XE-1 was sexy with the enlarged VF for focusing..  The 
dual mode is incredibly easy to use.

If you have not yet had the opportunity to try one out, run, do not walk, to 
your local camera store and try it...

BTW, the 50 ASPH Lux blew the socks off the 56 Fuji F1.2... ( exaggeration.
but the Leica lens is clearly susperior.)
