you can see the illustrated version here.
conclusion:
all in all, the GTN wasnt quite what i expected. its big, with a slightly faded focusing patch. but i love it. its one of those cameras where you can use without much thinking. yes, i know its quite a contradiction to what i said above about wanting to know about shutter speeds etc, but sometimes you need to forget all that. this is probably as close to a P&S as i’ll get (famous last words), but its a really good compromise judging by some of the shots from this camera.
i purchased the GTN really as a companion to the leica CL, something i can just throw in the bag and take everywhere. given the price and its capabilities, i’ll say its a really good buy, though not exactly what i expected (notably in size). i should also note that it came with the tele and wide adapter which i made zero use of, and probably will not in the near future.
i suspect on a longer term, it very much depends on how i get on with the focusing patch. if my eyes dont enjoy much sexy time with the yellow diamond then it’ll probably be gone.
we’ll see how it goes.
