Ko.Fe. Posted February 19, 2021 Share #1 Posted February 19, 2021 Advertisement (gone after registration) Forgive me if it was here before. It is pity here is no another X anymore. One where missing dial could be added. The distance dial. I'm not big fan of analog dials on digital cameras. But X series are all about dials. And here is no any other cameras where it is done this nice and simple. With distance dial it could be ultimate compact street camera. It looks like difficult to make lens where AF is combined with MF like dial scale where it is not just infinity, two meters and one meter on short distance. Sigma came with dial like this on earlier P&S and Ricoh could have it programmed on three sets of modes dial. But both have so-so colors, IMO.

wda Posted February 19, 2021 Share #2 Posted February 19, 2021 I find MF quite easy to set on my X1. Admitted the adjusting wheel relies on a synthetic scale. But it can be preset for street work. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ko.Fe. Posted February 19, 2021 Author Share #3 Posted February 19, 2021 Preset and street work is oxymoron. And on screen scale and wheel is too much monkey business . Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TMorita Posted July 7, 2021 Share #4 Posted July 7, 2021 I absolutely love the on-screen depth-of-field status on the X2. I wish my other cameras had the option to display it. Toshi Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ring on the lens is awesome and the main reason Im not switching to the CL. James Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
