Use the diopter adjustment on the viewfinder.
Bs. I’ve been using the same 18 cards and not rotating since 2009-11. Lexar
You had me at Lightroom’s rendering of xTrans files. Amid my Canon history a few years ago, I bought into Fuji and loved it until I processed. I tried ON and CaptureOne and others, but I wanted Lightroom.
I’ve had a dozen systems since 1976, preferring Canon 1Ds and 5D series for digital since 2006… until a year ago. I tried almost all the L series lenses and settled on a set of 9 Zeiss primes. Some love was lost as the kits got heavier. I moved to R5s for focus peaking but more love was lost, this time in rendering.
I sold off or gave away all the Fuji gear in the last year and finally moved to Leica. The M10m is a wet dream, and all the great glass made me get a M10r.
Crop sensor.
Fuji glass is generally nice. The 16mm is amazing— I just hated the crop files and xtrans rendering. Didn’t match with my workflow.
Stick with Leica glass for Leicas. I’ve had 2 Voightlanders and a Zeiss for m mount and they went back or sold immediately. I’ve got 9 Zeiss ZE primes for Canon, so I love the rendering. Now also 9 Leica lenses that I also adapt to the R5s. I’m about to try the Zeiss on a X1D2.
Correct, but at the right time. I was a studio guy with 4x5s (Linhoff, Toyo, ended with Sinar), med format (Mamiyas, Bronica, ended with Hasselblad), and 35 film (Canon, Nikon, ended with Leica). Sold much for child support…
A decade and now digital, I went Canon. A lot of Canons, bought and sold most all L lenses. I additionally bought into Fuji for size and weight, but HATE the xtrans files and/or crop. Moved from 5D4s to R5s with all Zeiss primes, sold all the Fuji, and now have M10r and M10m and way too many lenses.
I wasn’t ready for Leica again, even 3 years ago.
Really, though, for me, it was a great blend of science and chemistry and creativity. I got through art school on math and science scholarships. I had been a philosophy major for years and got interested in photo-surrealism, then Edward Weston.
