I think that is what i am going to do. The reason i moved to Leica from Sony & Nikon crap (sorry fan boys) is the amount of tweaking required after you take the shot. I am getting to the point where I want to rely just on the JPEG's. Crazy but why not

 

Try Fuji X if you want clean ooc jpegs.  You won't find much joy with Leica M if you think Nikon are bad!

If ones likes Fuji jpegs but better avoid f/4 then at least on my X-E2 where the CV 21/4 produces soft corners due to the thick sensor stack of the camera. My favorite crop camera with this lens is the M8.2 but the Ricoh GXR does very well also with no corner problem. I have no experience with jpegs on either camera though.

M240 + CV 21/4 is not the best combo for jpeg shooters i'm afraid. Better choose a Leica lens with 6 bit coding. I have no experience with the 21/1.4 asph but the 21/3.4 asph is an excellent lens indeed. If you need more speed, the 21/2.8 asph (Elmarit # 11135) would be a good choice if you can get it with 6 bit coding. See the Leica brochure and technical data below.

I have the x100t, love it but hate the fact that it's a gimmick in the name of rangefinder. Images are decent if one is ok with film simulation. It's a $1200 toy. A true toy but good images. I think with the Leica I love the experience. I shoot more. I wear the camera like I carry my iPhone. Not sure if it's the pleasure of owning this piece of craftsmanship or pure after shock of paying so much for it. Either way I love it lol. I returned the CV btw
