GearScore™ Verdict — Which should you buy?
Street, Documentary & Travel Photography — X-Pro2 (2016): The X-Pro series at its most balanced — 24MP X-Trans III, weather sealing, and a refined hybrid viewfinder that made it a street photography benchmark.
Street, Documentary & Reportage Film Photography — MP 0.72 (2003): The purist's Leica — a fully mechanical 35mm rangefinder with no electronics bar the meter. Still built by hand in Wetzlar. The most honest camera ever made.
