Time to say goodbye

After seven years I will let my Leica X1 go tomorrow. Hopefully it will find a worthy new owner, who treats this gem right and has as much fun as this iconic little piece of photographic gear brought me. Although it is only a camera, I feel a bit of sorrow, but I collected to many cameras in the last years. That's why I used the X1 too seldom, and a life in a shelf is not the right thing for it. This is a picture I shot only a few minutes before and I gladly share it here:

James, I do hope that you will not regret your decision. Such a beautiful final picture.

I struggled long with this decision and when I finally placed it online for auction I felt regret the moment I clicked the button to start my offer. But otherwise I couldn't justify the shelf life for the camera no longer. I have the X-Vario as well, and although it lacks the slightly better open aperture of 2.8, it proofed to be a more versatile instrument for my needs. The last kick came with a recent purchase of a Fujifilm X100F, which has some benefits, esp. it's hybrid viewfinder and has the same focal length as the X1. 

The best thing to happen would be a new owner of my camera posting his pictures here in this thread :)

Big Mistake -- X1 is one of the Classics (greatest Images per $ & Per Camera)

Crazy how compartmentalized folks are on this forum. I'm guilty of this too in not as often wandering to other camera threads to see what's happening. I would think at least X photographers (X 113, X1, 2, XE and the venerable XV would be curious to see what others are posting....DaveMo and a couple others exempted! :)

Maybe people bookmark directly to the X V thread or whichever thread they are posting to. I see a couple of the people on that thread elsewhere on the LUF....just a Sunday evening rant.....
