Who would like an interchangeable-lense X2?

bonjour à tous

 

Je viens de prendre une décision suite à mon hésitation entre le X1 et le GF1.

J'ai eu les deux boitiers en mains en magasin...

GF1 : mise au point et déclenchement instantanés

X1 : de 1 à 2 secondes !

Mon choix final se portera donc sur le GF1.

Bonne adresse en france, site prixchoc à Paris : 710 € avec le 20 mm pancake.

 

Bonnes photos à tous

If you re read this posts 5 year later you can see how I was predicting exactly the T, while most was thinking that that was a terrible idea, impossible, cannibalizing M, Lens too big, or the cost much more than M.

This happen frequently when someone thinks that Leica can make innovation.

I remember the same, when someone was asking, at the presentation of SL2, an automatic camera . that was seen as eresia.Later came the R3

that life. Time always tell the true

I would love an interchangeable camera based on the X-Vario/113 body.

Perhaps Leica will make one with a T-mount to tempt us next year ...

As far as I know they won’t.

That's really a shame. I'd buy one!

The X1 seems like a very fine "compact" camera, the design is gorgeous and it will likely deliver image quality.

 

However, IMHO, the same camera with interchangeable lenses, (hopefully mostly primes ) would be even more attractive because of the versatility and also greater M back-up capability.

Leica were immensely busy with the S2 and M9, so probably they just couldn't yet pull off a small "X System". So maybe this is just the first step. Just 3-4 lenses with key focal lengths could be enough, say 24, 35, 50 and 90? Your favourites?

 

I would buy such a camera in a blink, but the presumed price of ca. 2000 Euro (right?) is too much for me for a fixed 35mm camera.

 

On the other hand interchangeable lenses let muck in , so you have to get your sensor cleaned. I like my X2 the way it is.

It would not be an X * if it was not fixed lens. Even the latest version has sacrificed some of the desirable compactness of the original X1 which I still use daily.
