The Wandering Lensman: Sorry Fuji Fans, The X-T1 is Going Back
http://www.thewanderinglensman.com/2014/03/sorry-fuji-fans-x-t1-is-going-back.html
Dennis A. Mook Photographer and Traveler. Monday, March 24, 2014. Sorry Fuji Fans, The X-T1 is Going Back. NOTE: First, let me say that I buy and use camera gear based upon what will most likely best serve my needs. Over the past 44 years, I have owned most brands and all have served me well at the time.

Did I agonize over this?
