I do think many of us think of the Fuji and Sony's and others as ways to
enable our Leica glass. So we could really be accused of being Leica die
hards and not deserters of a sinking ship or Lemmings.
The Sony seems to be the first simple solution for enabling my M glass.
The fact that edges are problematical is not such a big deal.
This is only the first of many full frame mirrorless bodies to come out with
many more to follow. Perhaps even the next would would give us much more
viable edge to edge performance. If not soon.
I'm pushing for the Leica company itself to come out with a more compact and
hopefully less premium priced option mirrorless or otherwise. I'm much
rather be putting my money into Leica and I'm aware it can cost quite a bit
more. My Leica glass deserves it.
Also Foto Care here in NY is running a special on renting an S2. I might do
that.
I'd love to be shooting with an M 240. Perhaps I'll be able to enable that.
