I just recently traded my Leica M9 for a Fuji XT1 + M-Adapter, in order to finance a Bessa III.
I expected a bit of a set back, as I only have Voigtlaender VM lenses - Ultron f/1.8 21mm, Nokton f/1.2 35mm and Heliar f/3.5 50mm.

I put the XT1 right to the test just a few days ago, photographing a theater performance for UNDP Georgia in Tbilisi. I am content with the camera. Focusing was easier than I thought, and after being able to import the Fuji film profiles into Capture One (tutorial here here) processing was a breeze, even with ISO6400 images. I like how one can use square ratio in the EVF to compose the image, as a lot of my images now end up in either square or "6:7".

I used the Leica T in the past with VM-lenses, but I have to say that focus peaking is valuable when on the job and you need to nail it.

I cannot share the images directly, but a few can be seen here: UNDP Georgia
