ISO 200 1/14 @ f2.8 Processed to B&W in CS 5 http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/Howard+Cummer/XPRO/HC35bw.jpg.html http://tinyurl.com/cwkba9c Here is Pete from Mirama Camera taken with the 18mm f2.0 ISO 400 1/90 @f2.0 Processed to B&W in CS5 http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/Howard+Cummer/XPRO/Pete18bw.jpg.html http://tinyurl.com/clobqft First impressions are mixed. Picture quality looks very good - bokeh is pleasant. Lack of eye piece diopter adjustment is annoying. Inability to set minimum shutter speed with auto ISO is IMHO a retrograde step compared to the X100. (Maybe you can but that means I'll have to read the manual!!!) Erase function is now first on playback instead of third as on X100. That is progress. Focus speed and shutter lag seem better than the X100, even with the 1.20 upgrade to the X100. The 35mm f1.4 has a clunking sound as it starts to focus which is disconcerting but apparently "normal". Please look large C&C always welcome Howard
