Why on earth not? I shot for top architects and developers with an ancient Brooks VeriWide for decades. It had a stunningly sharp Schneider 47mm SuperAngulon over a 6×10 cm format—about like an 18mm on a 35—seven shots on a roll of 120. It did not even HAVE a rangefinder, only focusing by scale. Clients loved the quality.Anyway, to get back in topic, I think the XP1 is going to have a very fast processor - early reports are that it is instantaneous. And APS-C is probably more than adequate for the street photography and holiday snaps I would use it for. Nobody would be crazy enough to use a rangefinder camera for arch photography, but it's good to know it can work when it's all I'm carrying and have a good opportunity.
