Pappde, I like your watch, I almost bought the perpetual calender Ullysis Nardin, 8 years ago, but opted for the Rose Gold Daytona Rolex instead.:D

How do you really like the X1? I'm sticking with my lllc/f and M8 and delicious leica glass.

Still like it very much. It is a beautifully made camera, meticulously put together. Could not tell from the outside if it is not made in Germany. Looks very Leica, even next to an M3.

I wish I could justify to buy an M8.2/M9 and those delicious leica glasses, but my photographic skills didn't even justify buying the X1.

Hi Mark, I like the VF. It gives me more control in taking the picture. Most of the times the focus is right but not always. I am experimenting with AF settings. In my opinion the 11 point AF setting works better than the 1 point with the VF.

and the winner is: andym911 for adding that unbeatably classic leitz look with the silver sbloo but best of all by adding half as much optical glass weight as the x1 itself thereby making it look and handle with the weight and feel of a real leica:) yaaay!! i'm having a gentle dig here but it looks stunning and very practical actually. the problem i see with all of these viewfinders is that they are a little "out" when using the camera in portrait mode or a bit too tiny to catch a proper enough framing glance before remembering to hit the shutter button slightly before the subject comes into frame;)

Welcome to the forum Minji Cho! Congratulations! Already you have proved what a super camera the X1 is for available light pictures. I look forward to seeing some environmental pictures from you.
