Thanks, Steve, Rick, Dino, Jorge!
No negatives against the Touit, Jorge, except a minor PITA. Composing before you focus can be a waste of time, because focusing may change your composition. So, when shooting landscape on a tripod, one needs to pre-focus first, then compose. Performance-wise, the very strong micro-constrast means the picture does not highlight the myriad micro-details and exquisite mid-tone shadings one gets with fine Leica glass costing much more. But then, sometimes with the Leica one would wish for more micro-contrast.... Overall, I am done with large, heavy cameras. I am just getting too many meaningful shots from times and places where I would carry not one. Unless I decide to go back to 2 systems, but then the large one would be a MF, to justify enough performance increase over the NEX. I would love to see what my Summilux 50 or a Summicron 75 would do on the forthcoming NEX FF. I guess it should be all right with rangefinder glass down to about 35mm....
This Touit seems to perform quite well. Very evident in the corners. Any negatives to report ? Are you done with Full size SLR's now? what is the verdict ?
