It's interesting that a new member looked this up and commented on it.
I still agree with what I said 3 years ago, but since then I've discovered what I think is a viable alternative to the Leica and that is Fuji cameras, especially the X-Pro or even the X-E.
Like the Leica, it is small and unobtrusive. Unlike the Leica, it can create wonderful B&W JPEGs in camera using the Acros film simulation that can be used SOOC.
Of course there are numerous attributes to the Leica that in a professional environment would make it a preferred platform, but for us duffers the Fuji offers a lot for a fraction of the price.
I've been shooting with Leicas since 1968 and seriously looked at going to a Leica digital. I could afford it, but couldn't justify it. Luckily I discovered Fuji and have been quite pleased with the results I'm getting.
Still, the main point is what a great job Allen did with these images and how choosing the right tool for the job helped him capture them.
Thanks so much and yeah a revived old thread. COOL. I have shot some with Fuji just never really like the experience. Probably going to pick up an M 10 Mono sometimes this year. Never likes those presets myself. If I wanted my digital work to look like film, I'd shoot film. Great to have all of these choices out there.
