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

How much did you pay for it ? it looks a bit dusty. I got my Leica sl2-s from FOTO-GÖRLITZ, last year in may was 2200 eur, with one year warranty, and the camera was mint, all cameras and lenses are excellent with high quality photos of the cameras/lenses, you pretty much buy the display cameras fro

We have both but haven’t had the 43 for long… I think you will love it! You can find one gently used still under warranty for under $6k. It focuses a bit more slowly than the 28, and doesn’t focus as close without going into Macro mode. In most lighting conditions, I prefer the look of files from th

Hi, thanks a lot! At the moment I’m using a Leica SL3. About a year ago I upgraded from the SL2-S, but honestly, I think it was a mistake.Yes, the SL3 has a much higher megapixel count, but I mainly use Leica R lenses via an adapter. Since those lenses aren’t really optimized for a 60MP sensor, I ca

The dirty little secret is that many Leica shooters have a bag full of Olympus/OM System cameras on the side. Much better system for landscape/hiking/nature photography. I had a SL2-S for a while and I loved it. It was a joy to use; in so many ways it is the Platonic Ideal of a SLR-style mirrorless

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

Don't agree with the comment above, (and capable of proving) have been using the Sony a7 m1 for 8 years exclusively with manual vintage lenses, (some of yours too). Until last year when I switched to Leica SL2-S (also using vintage lenses, from Leica, japanese or german). Haven't experienced any maj

I shot with Nikon D200s until a few years ago and they only had 12MP. Never worried about that and they gave great images. They were getting worn out though and were way too heavy. I compare images I shoot on my Q3 43 which is 60MP and those I shoot with my D-Lux 8 which is 17MP. There are few image

I'm lensing my SL2s with M glass, so the thinner filter stack of the Leica is important to me. I shoot a lot wides, where smearing is worst.

I have an S9. I bought it primarily as a pocketable FF camera for stills. I barely use it. I owned a pair of S5IIs for a while and while I liked the images, the menu system and the UX in general annoyed me. I used it primarily for event work combined with decent 35mm, 50mm and 85mm primes. The image
