At least I am staying in "the family" (i.e. Fuji.) For me Fuji's design has the same vintage appeal as Shindo.

Alberto ,

I think you will enjoy having the ability to use your Leica glass as well as having a few nice Fuji autofocus X lens . I also like things that have a "old school" style but have modern new technology. I like that I can adjust the exposure compensation with my thumb while I'm looking through the viewfinder and see the histogram all in real time so I know if the picture is going to come out the way I want before I take it. It's easy to hold in the Q button and bring up my custom settings and in less than a blink the mood I'm after is ready. In short if you like the x100 and Leica, you will like the XE-1 even more.

Temp +9. Tint+17. Black +95, Clarity +25, Vibrance +35

I also cropped the sky and snow foreground to what you see to remove parts of the photo that don't really hold any content.....it's the fence, trees, horse, fog, and gentle curve of the snow in the mid-foreground that are creating interest and gesture in the photo.

I drove by and took a picyure of this old barn. Its hard to believe this was ever a place to buy a meal (look at the red and white sign above the horse trailer ).

I just picked up the 35 F 1.4 prime, wow is this lens sharp. I forgot that I could have shot in panarama mode but here are a few pictures outside the hospital using my feet as a zoom

It's one of the sharpest lenses I've ever owned...

Think it was the lack of culinary talent that got that place to the state it's in today?

Nice picture though!
