Seriously great images, especially the last one. Reminds me of the Hovis ads of yore. Excellent work.

Really nice work there, a sense of 'freedom' is obvious.

I dunno, I agree the first is great but the second really appeals, it's so vibrant, a 'shout' of colour. I really like it. Lovely photographs all. Nice one(s), Lenny.

Just wondering if Etsy might have something. I've found some stuff on there in the past, so it might just be worth a punt. Good luck anyway.

FF compacts are few and far between. Sony does one with a 35mm f/2 lens but I think it's a little long in the tooth (for a digital) these days. The best suggestion I can make is an upgrade to the X100V, which has been shown to have a considerably improved lens when compared to the older versions of the X100. It's APS-C but looks to me like it's pretty much perfect in every way (except price!).
Really helpful, Jonathan-Mac, thank you. I have the X100F and love it, a great street camera. The X100V looks awesome as well. Your comment on the Sony resonated as I had just been looking at exactly what you mentioned just now 👍 The Sony does interest me as a full frame option. There are some really good reviews on the A7 models.FF compacts are few and far between. Sony does one with a 35mm f/2 lens but I think it's a little long in the tooth (for a digital) these days.

Um, blimey - having just looked at Leica Q prices, you can do so much more for that money. Is it really worth it for a 24Mp FF compact when you can get a GRIII and save multiple bundles of £1000? I guess it may be a case of really wanting it, but not for me (a used M10 for similar money may be a different proposition).
Raging agreement, John, which is why I have found the comments in this thread so useful. I don't want to pay for a 'logo', hence my original question. The GRIII comment was especially helpful, thank you. 👍 Um, blimey - having just looked at Leica Q prices, you can do so much more for that money.

It's the full frame, fixed lens, in a compact camera that's providing the challenge. Ah, well, one can wait (for an updated M10? - I think I'd be killed in the rush )

No offence taken. Perhaps a glance through the various reviews on ePHOTOzine would help? It's the sister site to this one and covers all marques in detail.
Thanks, again, John, I've looked at the ePHOTOzine site a few times, really informative and helpful. I also relate to Philip's comment about the MX line, his point is well made. And yes, knowing Pentax, it would be a stunner. No offence taken. Perhaps a glance through the various reviews on ePHOTOzine would help? It's the sister site to this one and covers all marques in detail.
To all, many thanks for contributing to this thread. My search will continue!
Be well, stay well, all.

Thanks for this, John, and apologies if any offence caused, not my intent. The reason for the post was that there is so much photographic expertise here that I just wondered if anyone had any suggestions. It's the full frame element that I have found so interesting on the K1ii hence my interest in a full frame compact.
I also appreciated your comment about the MX-1, didn't know about that, (confirms my point about expertise)
I take on board Peter's comment about phone cameras, that was a good point.

I continue to delight in the K1ii that I have had for a few months now. The variety of lenses I have work well, but I've been mulling over a full frame compact. I have a lovely Fujifilm X100F, absolutely delightful, but am wondering if any of you folks have thoughts on a full frame CSC, fixed lens. The Leica Q series impresses but the price is a tad steep although from what I've read the camera is highly regarded, as is the more recent Q2.
The key point for me is compact, which is why I really like my X100F and will keep it. But a full frame equivalent? I'm still stuck. Any thoughts, recommendations would be welcomed.
Be well, stay well all.

Lovely, simply lovely. Very 'sun' and great light. Nice one(s).
