24mm 1.8? Yes, please.
It and the NEX 7 are the culmination of my 14 Step Program:
Step 1. Yearn for a digital FF compact to replace my Contax T3 and Ricoh GR
Step 2. Buy a GRD instead.
Step 3. Tire of the small sensor look but still manage to be seduced by the Lumix LX3
Step 4. Ok, really over the small sensor now, HELLO GF1 (or E-P1) and 20mm 1.7
Step 5. Cool, E-P2 w/ EVF and adapted lenses!
Step 6. Snicker at the NEX
Step 7. Hear the choir of angels sing the praises of the X100 - immediately place preorder.
Step 8. Wait
Step 9. Wait
Step 10. Buy a NEX body to bide my time.
Step 11. Realize how brilliant the NEX is as an adapted lens platform and how awesome the IQ is.
Step 12. Rejoice at arrival of X100 and at how great the X100 lens and sensor combo is, but agonize over how badly Fuji hobbled the handling of it.
Step 13. Lust after the NEX 7 and Zeiss 24mm.
Step 14. Realize that none of these cameras meet my original size specification and I am now investing in a rangefinder sized system instead of a small pocketable compact.
How did this happen!?
Damn.
