Ozytripper Posted November 4, 2015 Share #1 Posted November 4, 2015 Advertisement (gone after registration) Hi Everyone, I am from Melbourne Australia. Good to find this forum and hope to learn more from other members and to perhaps share some of my opinions as we. I have been using the Leica R system for nearly 30 years (1978 to about 2004), built up a good collection of lenses (from 35mm to 280 f2.8 modular lens. a couple of zooms as well) I had every model from the R3Mot to the R7 but finally decided let go of the system because my eyesight was getting worse (required auto focus) and the Leica R8 and R9 were just ridiculously large . I have since moved onto Canon (started with the 300D and kept upgrading till the 5D3) and then moved to Fujifilm when they launched the XE1. Currently on my 3rd XT1 (lost one, gave one away and finally bought a silver edition). I think Fuji has got it right in most aspects. I now have most of the new fuji lenses and find them to be very close to the Leica quality and feel. I still loved the Leica lenses and have been waiting patiently since I dropped the system; for Leica to come up with a proper autofocus camera but alas I have been disappointed to date. I am still hopeful and is still waiting. (I don't consider the SL or the Q to be the answer to my needs). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
