Hi guys,
Yesterday, put a refundable deposit down on a Leica M9. The simplicity and image quality are what I like the ideal, plus I'm not a fan of EVFs after trying some and finding them a bit to point-and-shoot like on the Sony A7r.
I wondered if anybody here has moved from an M9 to a Fuji with no regrets, or what they have found by doing so?
I understand a range finder is a different type of machine, but I just want a good range of lenses and decent edge to edge sharpness with good colours too.
If I have to put up with an EVF then I would hopefully get used to it. I see the X Pro 1 has a hybrid viewfinder but then I've heard the optical side isn't too useful anyhow.
ANY thoughts will be appreciated as the Leica is both more expensive and has some issues I believe. I just want to make the right decision.
It will be used mainly for travel and just general everyday photos. I have a Nikon FF setup for more specific and professional use but it's too heavy to carry on holiday.
