Consider the three cameras that can rightly claim cult status right now: Fujifilm’s X100VI, the Leica Q3 models and Ricoh’s GR IV in its many guises. What do they have in common? Yep, fixed lenses.

And, what’s more, all three hit the mark with buyers from the very moment they were released – the original X100 in 2010, the Leica Q in 2015 and the first GR in 2013 (although the GR Digital series dates back to 2005, with the 35mm film model line back to the GR1 from 1996).
