Hi Phil,
I am not a "brand" focussed person at all.
I feel the same way about brand Cem. I'll use anything that works well for me, no matter what name is on it.
Cheers,
Sean
Hi Phil,

I was very intrigued, of course, by the DP1. But I've read quite a few reviews now and the general consensus is that its shortcomings don't quite yet make up for it's fantastic sensor and lens. This is the personal conclusion of the reviewers, of course - your mileage may vary.
I am still very torn. 28mm is not a familiar focal length for me, whereas I love 35mm.
That certainly wasn't my conclusion.
Cheers,
Sean
The maximum aperture at 35mm is f2.9. And f2.5 at 24mm, f2.7 at 28mm, f3.5 at 50mm, and f4.4 at 72mm.
Thanks Ted and everyone else. I've decided to go with the GX100 and a Voigtlander 35mm OVF.
I did something very similar with the Canon G3 I owned at one time - I kept the lens at the shortest zoom setting (roughly a 35mm FOV equivalent), used the Voigtlander 35mm finder, and shot only in monochrome. It turned out to be an excellent photographic discipline, and I took some great pix that way. Good luck with your own adventure in minimalism!
Is there such a thing as a pocket camera (35mm) with a 50mm lens? Something truly shirt pocketable? I had long ago left the film world but I'm going to buy a Nikon ED 9000 to scan the 6X12 negs I'm shooting now on a LF camera so I might as well shoot some film for pocket camera as well, it isn't that expensive if you process and scan yourself and there truly isn't a digi camera that provides 35mm film quality in that size camera.
