M lenses performance on Nikon ZF vs Leica SL2-S vs Lumix S1/5 ?

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

Annual insurance photo 🙃

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

Leica D-Lux 8, M240, M8, M10, Q? - Nepal/Himalaya visit

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

Can someone pleeeeeeease explain the fascination with Leica cameras?

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

The Leica SL3 and Weddings

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

Capture a moment, or capture focus? Leica M11 + Voigtlander APO Lanthar 28mm f/2.0

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.
