Q3

I stopped using my Leica M system completely. Hasselblad XD2/XD2ii and 907X. I just take street/landscape/portrait and pets. For pets, with the animal recognition AF it is a godsend. To me, the XD2ii + 55V or 38V is not significantly larger than a M camera with lens and it comes with AF and great IB

The Q isn’t compact by any means. It’s basically a mirrorless body with a permanent lens attached to it. The X100VI is much smaller and easier to just take with you. But the crown goes to the Ricoh GR series. I’ve never had the original Q but I did have the Q3 and the Fujifilm X100VI. The Fujifilm f

Don't do it if you are using a M10 now. Good enough camera, but the lens it is paired with is nothing compared to pretty much any Leica glass. No stabilization in body or otherwise. Was able to try one out when they were first released and I immediately was turned off by the glass. Literally almost

A Q3 focal length is a little wide (its 28mm its but not a standard 28mm and more like a 24mm I'd say) not ide

Pretty sure all high end glass from sony, sigma, canon nikon can match the qualiy of the leica lenses. And they offer image stabilization and linear motor AF. I dont see any reson to get a manual leica lens ever. Ok, the feel of it maybe. But thats it. On the other side i only see reason for fixed l

If you're intent on using manual focus, why are you getting the M-EV instead of a regular M? Manual focus with EVF aids is garbage compared to the rangefinder. Laggy, imprecise, requires slow punch-in confirmation, distracting exposure/etc details. If you're chasing fun with manual focus, get the ca
