SL2-S

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

I gave up a Sony A7RIII in favor of my M43 kit and my Leica SL2-S for the OM-3. My use case is “city travel” and the larger cameras and lenses meant my whole travel kit dynamic changed. I’ve attached a photo of the OM-3 with the 12-45 f4 in a Peak Design 3L sling with the 17mm f1.7 II under the divi

I’m in a similar position, coincidently. I use my Leicas professionally & have generally mitigated a disaster past couple years. However, a couple times now I’ve run into issues & have been let down. I went from using very sterile feeling full canon setup to Leica’s. I feel it helped me grow & impro

I mean, buy a LUMIX S1 for 1/4 the price. Get the M. For near the cost of an SL2S you could get a Q 116 and an S1. Or get the M10 over the M240 + S1. If the M is for joy and the SL2-S is just for getting stuff done, why waste extra money on it to get the same thing? Totally get the Leica is a nicer

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

sell it and never come back to it.I had Leica M10, M10R, Q, Q2, Q3, Q343 and SL2S (x2) and never even close they were up to performance of X1D II, I am not even going to compare them with X2D II. I wish I was smarter and never even tried Leica, they are same full frame as other manufacturers with di

That's why I think the SL3-S becomes an even more confusing product with this camera coming out. It seems like this may end up being the camera that the SL3-S should have been which would make the SL3-S superfluous. I get that Leica has its release schedules but I would think they would have been mu

You should be able to find one for much less even new. I bought one in Jan 2025 for $2695 brand new from Leica SF and SL3-S was released so I sold the SL2-S for $2600.

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
