Subject: [Leica] Fuji XE-1 and 18-55 zoom

I had a chance to put my new acquisition, the Fuji XE-1 and 18-55 f2.8-4
zoom, through their paces for the first time last Saturday. The purchase
was necessitated by my elder son, Siddharta, virtually nationalizing the
X-Pro 1 for use when cycling. I found it in many ways an ergonomic
improvement on the X-Pro 1, especially in having a better EVF, and firmer
dials and buttons which make it more difficult to accidentally change
settings. As for the lens, you can form your own judgements from the
photographs! We went to a spot in North Chennai, called Kasimedu Beach,
where there is a man made harbour for fishing vessels. We reached very
early, before dawn had broken, and it turned out to be a smoggy, partially
overcast day:
