Yes, I can - that is exactly how it is - there are click stops, but it is actually a true zoom (unlike the MATE)I've read that the WATE is a true zoom, but has click stops at 16-18-21. Can anyone confirm this?
Hi Godfrey - I was only talking about the shutter lag when it 'all works'. I quite agree that the E-M1 is more responsive, and I also prefer the images from it.hmm. Testing the X-T1 against my E-M1, I found the E-M1 to be much more responsive. And I prefer the look of photos made with it and the Summilux-DG 25/Macro-Elmarit-DG 45 to anything I got out of the X-T1 and its equivalent lenses. With luck, our Leica rep will be at the store tomorrow AND I'll have time to stop over there to see the T.
Meanwhile, I'm pretty darn happy with the A7 and the lenses I've collected to use with it. It's responsive enough, the EVF is good enough, the sensor is excellent, etc.
Gads, I have too darn many cameras ... !

Glad to hear it Arnie.I tried, I really did, but I couldn't manage.
On the other hand, the principle is fantastic . . . so
I already sold the A7r. Now my A7 kit is on ebay . . . but
The 55 f1.8 and the 24-70 zoom are snuggled up in my lens cabinet, waiting for the 36mp camera with EFC and proper weather sealing and no shutter lag.
Then I'll be back!
all the best
I'd assume there's always just enough room for a Leica when he likes it.how does the leica t fit in your arsenal jono?
I made the switch to the XT1 some weeks ago and I am more than happy with the results. Never ever could get similar results with my EM1. Colors, DR, high ISO noise etc are much better than the EM1. The EM1 is a tick faster/snappier I agree, but not enough to outweigh the other advantages of the XT1. Also I do prefer the lens lineup of the Fujis compared to the Olympus, especially when taking into account all the really cheap plastic Oly glass available, while optically good it is not nice to touch and feel and the Fuji counterparts (if there are comparisons) fell better, remind me more of my old Nikkor or Leica R lenses and are optically at least same level, most times noticeably better and all for a very reasonable price. Plus the XT1 EVF after using it now extensively is for sure topping all other EVFs currently around.hmm. Testing the X-T1 against my E-M1, I found the E-M1 to be much more responsive.

Whatever floats your boat is fine for you. I'm so tired of the "what I like is the best there is" kind of back and forth nonsense.I made the switch to the XT1 some weeks ago and I am more than happy with the results.

So for me the XT1 is the currently best mirror less camera (system) available.
No problem, but same is true for you Godfrey!Whatever floats your boat is fine for you. I'm so tired of the "what I like is the best there is" kind of back and forth nonsense.
'Scuse me if I sound crabby.
I never say "Mine is the best". I more usually say, "I don't like that one" or "I find this one outperforms that one on these specific things."No problem, but same is true for you Godfrey! ...
