[QUOTE="MoonMind, post: 182243, member: 5637"] [url]http://www.stevehuffphoto.com/2014/05/02/the-leica-t-software-correction-conspiracy/[/url] Here's Steve Huff's take on this. I think he's basically right. Nevertheless, even though my tiny Panasonic 12-32mm might not be perfect and certainly is no Leica lens nor is it comparable - but it renders pretty nicely without a lot of auto-correction (I know that because the PM1 isn't exactly good at this when using Panasonic lenses) ... Generally, I'd say that people who are into premium products have no business complaining about premium prices - those are part of the deal. Even so, in the case at hand and for the price asked, the Leica T had better beat the RX1(R) and the X100(s), at least while using the 23mm - because if a camera of this calibre doesn't compel at $4000, I guess that hardly anyone will shell out $6000 either way (give or take a couple of hundred quid). Leica buffs, however, *will* buy this very handsome camera with its premium appearance, feel and price and admittedly high-class performance. If anyone else will do this remains to be seen - especially since that kind of money ($6000!) will get you a X-T1 with three high-end Fuji primes or at least two if you include a Touit - or a RX1R *and* a X100s *and* a GR or Coolpix A with accessories - or a whole stable of Sigmas - or even a X Vario *and* a X2, including even the original EVF and grips --- or a E-M1 and *all five* high-class Olympus primes (12mm, 17mm, 25mm, 45mm, 75mm), including top-of-the-game image processing ... :tongue: I think you can see where this is going - even if the T is an impressive camera, it'd take a lot(!) more in terms of performance at that price to convince me.
