I fell into the Leica trap

For your situation I'd sum it up in this way from best to worst scenario:Q2 -> SL2-S -> MThe Q is a wonderful camera which will certainly make you considering an M in future.The SL line is a great middle ground where you can both use expensive anc cheap lenses from various manufacturers. Don't disre

Help deciding

Love Leica cameras. Have used film and digital M, SL and Q. Nothing changes about your photography. It doesn't improve it. The biggest dopamine rush is the process of buying it and then telling people you have an M. It's not an upgrade over the X-T3 in any way if I'm being honest. No weather sealing

Leica SL2-S New Old Stock - Fair Price?

I love my SL2-S, and it's just as relevant as it was when it was released. As for the choice, I'm sure the Leica-rehab is fine, but you'll never have the same questions about a new one.

Ereditati da mio papà ,adoro il B/N ma vorrei anche una a colori cosa prendere ? Le ottiche le tengo tutte o no?

Per il colore ti suggerisco un corpo COMPLETAMENTE diverso, tipo una Leica SL2-S.Saprebbe valorizzare ciascuna di quelle ottiche, soprattutto le più lunghe e luminose.MAI vendere le ottiche!!!Prima o poi te ne pentiresti, garantito.

Considering selling to fund an M240 & SL2-S, Am I insane?

I mean, buy a LUMIX S1 for 1/4 the price. Get the M. For near the cost of an SL2S you could get a Q 116 and an S1. Or get the M10 over the M240 + S1. If the M is for joy and the SL2-S is just for getting stuff done, why waste extra money on it to get the same thing? Totally get the Leica is a nicer

Switching from X-T5 to Leica SL2/SL2-S

You have identified the advantages and disadvantages correctly. This ends up being a very personal choice and you have to weigh these tradeoffs for yourself. My personal preference is limiting weight and size which puts you in Q territory. If it has to be an interchangeable lens SL, I’d go with sigm

SL2S vs SL3 for M adaption

The 3 and the m11 will render nearly identically, it’s the same sensor, along with the Q3 series. This sensor is also found in Sony’s 60 megapixel offerings. If you like it on your M, you’ll love it on the SL3. I don’t buy into a sensor rendering something “more” or “less” better, it all has to do w

Exploring the light

sell it and never come back to it.I had Leica M10, M10R, Q, Q2, Q3, Q343 and SL2S (x2) and never even close they were up to performance of X1D II, I am not even going to compare them with X2D II. I wish I was smarter and never even tried Leica, they are same full frame as other manufacturers with di

Planning to switch to OM3

I gave up a Sony A7RIII in favor of my M43 kit and my Leica SL2-S for the OM-3. My use case is “city travel” and the larger cameras and lenses meant my whole travel kit dynamic changed. I’ve attached a photo of the OM-3 with the 12-45 f4 in a Peak Design 3L sling with the 17mm f1.7 II under the divi
