I did not like the results, to me the images Tina is showing look very 
different to Leica shots. There is not the subtlety of detail or colour IMO, 
although obviously bang for buck it is very good.

Phil,
Thanks for looking. The Fuji system is very good, and the lenses are 
exceptional for their price. The only point I make is that we need to take 
time off to learn the system, like any new equipment we acquire, and not 
dismiss it out of hand because it does not function like a Leica. These 
photographs are taken mainly with the XE-1, a first generation Fuji at that, 
and a Fuji X100S, which is a great pocketable (just about!) travel camera, 
with a super 35mm equivalent fixed lens.
Cheers
Jayanand
