I hoped to learn about using that and connect with fellow enthusiasts. Along the way I've been very fortunate to meet and spend time with some wonderful people, even if only online for some of those folks. I have enjoyed seeing many many photos made in a lot of styles too and shared some back. I have a lot of Leica stuff and of course enjoy using it. The bulk of my photos are taken with Leica cameras and lenses naturally. I'm shooting a lot for an amateur I guess and my style and interests have certainly developed along the way; not always in the same directions as others ;-) Each tool is different and Fujifilm seem to be very successful at producing some great ones. I think I would use the lenses made for them if those bodies were my choice.
