SL2-S

Great camera. I had one, added an SL2–S, then traded both on a Q3. The Typ 116 is definitely in “gateway drug” territory. Downside: the 28mm lens is limiting, especially if you’re coming from interchangeable lens cameras. Upside: that 28mm lens is also the finest optic I’ve shot with. It’s astoundin

I do not own a Lumix. But own several Sony cameras along with my SL2-S. Not sure if this is helpful. I wouldnt say its a poor decision, its just a matter of what you want. Even with the sensors being the same. The two cameras are pretty different imo. I purchased the SL2-S a few years back as a gift

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

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.

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

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

Interesting insight, thanks. Especially your thoughts about the SL2's ergonomics. I since saw a more extensive testing for m mount lenses on various bodies , Panasonic was awful so it's out of the consideration. Quality was better on the SL2-s as you'd expect , but surprisingly Nikon Z sensors were

I have the SL2 and ZF. The ZF has the advantage of the Nikon manual focus green-box aid, but in all other respects I prefer the SL2 for adapting lenses. The SL2 viewfinder (and the SL2-S) is significantly better than the ZF’s (which is already decent). It is higher resolution and performance with M

I started photography in the 1980's shooting and developing B&W film. Over the last 5 years I got back into doing it as a main hobby. I have the bad habit of looking for the perfect item for a hobby in this case cameras. In 2021 I owned four different fujifilm cameras not one replacing the other but
