A place to politely discuss the tools, technique and culture of photography.
This is not a good place to simply share cool photos/videos or promote your own work and projects, but rather a place to discuss photography as an art and post things that would be of interest to other photographers.

Eventually all roads lead to Leica
Correct, but at the right time. I was a studio guy with 4x5s (Linhoff, Toyo, ended with Sinar), med format (Mamiyas, Bronica, ended with Hasselblad), and 35 film (Canon, Nikon, ended with Leica). Sold much for child support…
A decade and now digital, I went Canon. A lot of Canons, bought and sold most all L lenses. I additionally bought into Fuji for size and weight, but HATE the xtrans files and/or crop. Moved from 5D4s to R5s with all Zeiss primes, sold all the Fuji, and now have M10r and M10m and way too many lenses.
I wasn’t ready for Leica again, even 3 years ago.

I've recently managed to coax out a decent file from my Fuji XT3, but it did take quite some fiddling... playing with the idea of building a collection of Leica M mount Zeiss lenses to see if I can adapt them to the Fuji for the time being while saving up for a Leica M9 body
Fuji glass is generally nice. The 16mm is amazing— I just hated the crop files and xtrans rendering. Didn’t match with my workflow.
With crop files you mean the aspect ratio or the fact that it's APSC and not full frame?
Crop sensor.
Stick with Leica glass for Leicas. I’ve had 2 Voightlanders and a Zeiss for m mount and they went back or sold immediately. I’ve got 9 Zeiss ZE primes for Canon, so I love the rendering. Now also 9 Leica lenses that I also adapt to the R5s. I’m about to try the Zeiss on a X1D2.
