My primary system is the m4/3 centered around the wonderful E-M5. I don't yet have a prime for that system covering the 35mm EFL, and I'm hesitating to commit to the new Olympus 17mm f1.8, because it seems less than stellar for its price. The PL 25mm is a better lens for about the same cost.
So this is what I'm thinking, and it may just be a justification for a new camera. I've long been interested in the Leica X1/X2, with their 35mm equivalent focal length fixed lenses, but simply could never justify the cost. The Fuji X100 basically gives me the same thing, with a hybrid viewfinder and an exceptional lens, for a fraction of the cost, especially used since the X100s has been announced.
Has anyone else out there gotten the X100 instead of a prime with the same FOV for their micro 4/3 camera? I started this photo journey shooting a fixed lens slightly wide angle Olympus zone focus many years ago, so the fixed lens is not an issue.
