Is a true pleasure

Actually I bought this camera to finally use my unused for many years Leica M lenses again. This works very well, although the manual focusing, despite support from the focusing aid in the viewfinder and on the display takes significantly longer to complete than initially suspected. But not much more than the distance setting in the Leica viewfinder and the subsequent exposure setting in tracking my Leica M6.

I have Summicron 35 and 50 mm (both f / 2) and a Elmarit 90 mm f / 2.8. These are then (approximately) 50, 75 and 115mm focal lengths when quite pleasant light levels.

Unfortunately, I did but also the Fujinon 18-55mm f / 2.8-4 ordered with the kit. Unfortunately? Yes ... because the lens is really very good and the combination with the autofocus makes it so convenient. The lens delivers crisp sharp images with excellent contrast. Therefore, I have the Leica lenses used significantly less than originally intended.

The special sensor of the X-E2 provides fantastic photos. The JPEGs are so appealing that it is difficult to achieve better results than 5 RAW format and development with Adobe Lightroom. I suppose, therefore, always RAW + Fine on.

My 'other' camera is a Canon 6D with 2.8er L zoom and some prime lenses. Many kilos it delivers outstanding results. But it remains very much at home and will not be very much brought out because they immediately caused far too much attention. By contrast, the Fujifilm X-E2 is not taken seriously. You can quickly take on the role of the almost unnoticed lasting Leica M. She is fast and works thanks to the electronic viewfinder even in the dark. It created photos that are not backed by the Canon 6D have to hide in your quality.

From me there 5 Stars!
