The Fuji cameras obviously deliver beautiful digital files; at an extremely 
affordable price when compared to the Leicas which they emulate. And 
essentially this article says, "here's a nice camera, that looks almost just 
like a leica, which can turn it's RGB files into Grayscale files (just like 
every other digital camera available).

Of course the same points could be made for my M8, and M; or the M9, M-E; or 
if you let go of the range finder ? any mirror-less camera on the market.
