            Image Quality: The lens In APS-C terms, the X70 has an 18.5mm focal length while the GR II has a slightly wider 18.3mm focal length, both of which equate to roughly a 28mm field of view in 35mm format. This is a great focal length not only for street photography but also landscapes and environmental portraits.
