Originally posted by Clicker Yes I find myself favoring the wider end of the focal range even with zoom lenses, 8-16 on 1.6x, 5.1 on the P&Ss even 7-14 if I add M43 plus I find myself for want of a daily shooter to be "light" even film I prefer the older spotmatic with a 55.
btw it's huff's enthusiasm that has me curious on that X100 with all it's quirks; that said, others just won't accept it and won't recommend it at all especially over Leica's X1 citing whatever reasoning they can find to disregard it's existence lol
Like I said, even with all this research, advice seeking, I still end up just deciding "then and there", the curse of being an amateur with hobbies
It really is a great camera if it works for you with the 35mm focal length. I thought those three articles are balanced in their evaluation of that.
It works for me, but for the price you have to make sure it works for you. No doubt it's expensive, but if you use the camera then it's probably worth it.
I have not enjoyed photography this much in years since I got the X100. But that's just me.
I might be tempted to say if you are wavering that much it's probably not what you want. I couldn't wait to get mine and it has not disappointed one time. But again, it matches what I want in a camera almost 100%. The only complaint I might have is the manual focus. In the end I suppose no camera is perfect.
The only decision I'm facing now is whether to keep the K5 and lenses.
