SL2-S

Yes, my SL2-S is my favourite Leica, brilliant with af lenses, wonderful with manual focus, that screen is amazing.

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

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

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

So as you said, the SL does have an optimized sensor stack for M mount with the same application of microlenses as the native Ms. Does it make a difference? Who knows, I never saw a comparison between the SL2 and S1R (Panasonic camera with the same sensor but without the M mount mods). I will say th

I notice looks like all SL2-S. I used to have the SL 601, SL2, SL2-S, now using the SL3. I sometimes feel like that SL2 and SL2-S has better auto focus than the Leica SL3, have you tried an SL3? do you prefer the auto focus of the SL2-S? Im sure you need at least decent AF for weddings, I have done

Have you thought about something from the SL line? I know they tend to be looked at as Leica's red headed stepchild around here but they are great cameras if you are dead set on buying a Leica. They will be a bit larger and heavier than an M or a Q but they do bring full IP54 rating for weather seal

I've been a Nikon shooter for decades and a couple years ago I bought a SL2-S. Built like a tank. I loved the solid feel of the body. It reminded me of the feel the F2. But, having two systems is just stupid so I sold it. I also felt like the back button focus was janky at best. The only feature I m

For digital at weddings, I only shoot Leica. I love it. The colors are so so good. Our files are wonderful, very malleable. I use the SL2-S + Q3 + Q3 43 + M10. However I did not like the SL2 file looks and I won't touch an SL3 because of the file eating issues. Which perhaps has been resolved, but s

From what I remember the sl3s might be better at autofocus than the sl3 ? And the Leica branded non apo glass was definitely faster to focus from what I tested on the sl2s. Apo is great but there is more glass to move in that lens so it’s naturally slower by comparison to the non apo Leica version.
