Hi Moose,
I have been using the vignetting because I have a hard time getting a
desirable background when chasing butterflies. I know that some of you
don't like that approach, but, to me, it adds a touch of consistency.
I have to admit that having the E-1 thumbnails and the X-E1 thumbnails
on the same page for the last few days, I have come to the same
conclusion. To continue to make use of my investment in glass, it may
be time to move on down the road to the X-T2 when it passes the teething
test. I'm not usually an early adopter.
Thanks for the kind words.

Looking at this and your other recent flutterby images, I'm just not
seeing the E-1 magic that you and AG go on about. It may be that I'm a
visual philistine, or post processing, and/or the limitations of
screens - whatever, I don't think this X-E1 color and that of the
Buckeye give anything away to the E-1 flutterby shots.
Lovely color and bokeh. As usual, I yearn for a little more detail, or
perhaps artistically less? I walk both sides of the definition <->
soft/abstract street, but get unsure walking down the middle.
Hmmm, gotta look and ponder it some more. It clearly does have merits.
