More Leica X2 and M Monochrome hands-on and samples

Time for a quick round-up of the Leica action that was not included in our earlier Leica Big Bang round-up. Here we go...

+ X2 review with production model by Ming Thein who notes the X2 EVF actually fits and works (!) on the Olympus E-M5 and E-PM1. Use your browser's search function to look for this sentence at Ming's blog: "Even more interestingly, it worked!". Full size samples accompanying the review can be found on flickr

+ M Monochrome impressions by Jonathan Slack along with pictures from China (via Serious Compacts)

+ M Monochrome impressions and opinions at Luminous Landscape

+ paying subscribers only: M and X2 reports at Reid Reviews

+ M Monochrome preview at Imaging Resource

+ the M Monochrome, the X2 (silver or black) and the 50mm f2 M-mount lens are available for preorder at Adorama
