At 86, I'm probably a generation ahead of most LUGGERS,  except for Dr. 
Ted, Larry and Herb.  I bought my first Leica in 1952, before the M 
existed, and I've never owned an M or R.  I started with a used Leica 
III, from 1935, which had been converted by the factory to a IIIa.  That 
was my standard for a small camera.  As my small contribution to an OM 
list discussion, I posted this image, made this morning.

While Micro 4/3 is the favorite system with many people today, I still 
lean toward the size of the Barnacks.  Consequently, I have enjoyed the 
Fuji offerings and will probably remain in that camp. While I have 
mentally compared the Fuji X-E1 and the Leica IIIf, I had not put them 
side by side until today.  Not too different, wouldn't you say?

Comments and critiques welcomed and appreciated.
