Is an M6 worth the money?

I currently have a Q3/43, M10M, DLux-8, iiia, and just bought an M6 reissue. And I can honestly say that none of them are worth what I paid if I just want a camera to simply take pictures. That said, the feelings I get from using these cameras - especially the M6, is worth every cent. When I use the

For $1000 more you can get a Leica Q3. And if you buy used, it might actually be cheaper.

Leica Q vs M11

The Q343 produces the sharpest images I’ve ever seen. The APO lens is just crazy good. To get that level of IQ, you’ll need to use APO 35 / 50mm M glass or any of the APO SL lenses. You get an extra stop on the Q3, but it wont be as razor sharp as the 43, but sharper than 95% of the cameras out ther

I've only got one SD card since I'm just a hobbyist shooting on a point-and-shoot. How about you? How do you handle it?

Humble brag about his leica q3.... which has the same sensor as the a7riv, and a fixed lens... there is a difference between expensive and costly stuff. Costly stuff get you something for your money, expensive stuff dont, you just pay for the name. Thats where leica is. How do i get around the 1 car

You’re entirely right, but the closest Leica competitor (Q3 43) is over $2,000 more than this camera. They’re really nailing the Leica pricing with the $300 thumb grip, however.

Q3 43, Q3 Monochrome, Q3 - which one

Fast good 50's are cheap. Fast wide Leica lenses are not. Embrace cropmaxxing. Shoot em wide, I vote for the Q3 28.

Take a Leica Q3, then take away the $6.000 28mm Summilux, the flip display, the image stabilization, the autofocus, the weather sealing, add an M-Mount Adapter and sell it for $9.000. 😬

Jesus, you could buy a Leica Q3 or an SL3 for that, including a kit lens. That's bananas. People with GAS who feel the need to grab the latest gear will mindlessly line up for it though. There's a sucker born every minute.

The problem IS the price. (rant)

I cancelled my pre-order because the more I thought about it the less I wanted the 4. Personally I think i'm just going to stick to the 3 because it's good enough for me and I just wanted something wider then my Q3 43 to carry around. That being said, it might be unpopular opinion but I think the pr

What is the best Leica for a starter (someone who enjoys casual photography and if okat w auto)?

Honestly, none... Leica is crazy expensive for what you get... You'd be better off spending 25% of the cost of a Q3 on something else. Leica is not really a "for a starter" camera brand.
