Also, where can I get the red colored eyepiece, as all the LCDVFs I have seen online now in the USA are black colored. Maybe they had red-eyepiece in 2009 and now only handle the black ones?

Looking forward to your review, since you should have yours a few days before mine arrives!

I am stuck relying on the histogram during playback. Yes, the Mini and the X1 are quite the pair. Steve Hello Tad,

No, you’re not missing anything. I am stuck relying on the histogram during playback.

Yes, the Mini and the X1 are quite the pair.

Just two days ago I picked up a mint (less then 50 actuation's) M8. With only initial impressions, would say the X1 has the edge in high ISO shooting, but there's no substitute for having an M body in your hands. Thanks for the reading the blog and your comments.

I have a Nikon DSLR which is not seeing much light these days. I am considering the X1 or the M8.2. I am quite surprised at quality of the high ISO images you have posted here. You take wonderful pictures and as the previous commenter said - it is truly the subject and the subject matter that makes a photo, not the equipment.

Since the X1 does not have an AE lock, how are you metering? I can't fathom why Leica would want to tie the metering to the focus point, especially shooting in manual mode. Maybe I'm missing something? The Mini and X1 seem a likely pair, lol. Cheers. Steve – thanks for sharing your thoughts, experiences and cool photos(love the shadow-pattern shot).

You made a good point at the end of your comment about 'what counts'. You need to have a camera always with you to get the photo. The X1 is small enough to always be with me and at the same time gives me the quality of a much larger body and lens combination. Steve Thanks Franz.
