Cam....Hello GRX Maybe
Wow, what a great thread.
I'm exploring X1 vs. GRD III vs GRX 50mm for one purpose only, street shooting (both candids and city scapes).
The GRD III sounds perfect...except for my desire for a larger sensor and strong preference for 35mm and 50mm lenses.
The X1 sounds perfect....except for early reports re ease of manual use and slowness of the auto focus.
But Cam your enthusiasm is contagious re the GRX.
Three additional questions:
a) ease of setting it up for zone focusing?
b) manual focusing process for someone who is used to a lens which includes easy depth of field reading, aperture setting, etc...like any of the Leica M lenses? I have never liked being dependent on primarily using menus (my roots years ago in rangefinder land before I wandered into the strange new DSLR world!)
c) general ease of use for street shooting?
I expect Sean Reid will eventually answer all these questions..but here you are...now.. with your very helpful insights.
Thanks.
