Received my first Leica today 😢

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

Vlada | Leica SL2S

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

Switching from X-T5 to Leica SL2/SL2-S

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

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

Help me choose a camera please

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

SL3 or Q3

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

Will the Leica SL3P be more ”professional” than the SL3 and SL3S

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.

Recommendation about LUMIX S9

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

Does the SL series cameras feel the same?

To me the images have the distinct Leica look, but the shooting experience is a night-and-day difference. Is street possible with the SL series? Of course, but it's no different from shooting street with a DSLR. I love my SL2-S, but I wouldn't carry it around my neck everywhere I go.

Need buying advice for a Leica AF body.

SL2/-S would be a great match to your Q2. You’re familiar with the sensor already. ISO performance is great still IMO. The SL2s can be had for 2.5k USD and really you have your pick of the crop when it comes to lens choice to pair with your Q2! And if you wanted to get into motion, the SL2/S is a so
