Now you have given me a great idea. Convince my wife to use her X-2 for B&W just as you suggest and then she will no longer need the MM her dealer has for her.Like the video a lot. Even getting interested in an MM.
In the meantime, what I discovered experimenting with the X2 yesterday is that if I want a classic handling B&W only camera ...
- switch it to one of the two BW modes
- set it to manual focus and pick a nice zone at f/5.6 or so
- turn off raw, turn off the LCD, fit optical finder
- set Auto ISO to run to 1/15 s and ISO 6400, or set exposure manually
Voila! Mini-MM one lens camera... very very appealing.
As you say, et Voila, now I have her MM for me! Thanks ever so much! And I'll tell her it was your idea.
