Genuine curiosity: What's the appeal of a Leica Monochrome body?

My only Leica is a Q2 Monochrom. I love it. The options it gives me as a daily carry far outweighs the loss of color. Speed, definition and lowlight performance were my main motivations. The pictures are so much sharper than any other 40mp sensor could be. I can take handheld shots in the middle of

M with a Visoflex vs M EV1 (opinions sought)

Can only give you my opinion. I have a M11 and had the M-EV1 but returned it. To me it breaks down to a few points: If you only have 1 camera, and don’t get on with the rangefinder experience the M-EV1 makes sense. If you have a rangefinder camera, but find that more often than not you’re reaching f

Go with a Leica SL3 or X2D2?

The X2D2 has really good ibis compared to previous gens thanks to DJI's involvement with the brand. As for iq, people have mentioned that the SL line does give the "medium format look" but imo if you NEED the medium format look then get a medium format camera. However, if you are being paid for your

SL3

Apo is definitely worth it, especially for the SL system. But if you already have a Summilux lens, try Leica’s M-to-L adapter first before investing in other high-end lenses. If the Summilux-M is sufficient, just buy a 28–70 zoom lens, which is also excellent. I also moved from the Sony system to th

Does the SL series cameras feel the same?

I have a SL2, I have not owned a M or Q, I do have some film gear, have shot film rangefinders, and I shot GFX prior. In my opinion, part of what makes a Rangefinder like the Leica M great is the restraint it gives you. This means being able to focus in on composition rather than getting lost in the

Ratlos bei der Kamera wahl

Die Frage ist zunächst: Wieso Hasselblad bzw Leica? Für den Look? Für's 'haben'? Technisch gesehen sind diese Kameras zwar sehr gut und überdecken rein rechnernisch den MFT Sensor der OM, allerdings hast du auf Insta und Co nichts davon. Wenn du wirklich in den großformatigen Print gehen möchtest, w

Possibly Unpopular Opinion About Video and Possibly Popular Opinion about IBIS

Leica SL3S is what you want. Yeah the video capabilities are more than what you need but the photo quality is amazing. I use mine to scan my film in multishot mode. So 96 megapixel files. Not to mention the form factor with M lenses is incredible.

Leica SL3 owners, what justifies the 7k price tag for you?

I was a career photojournalist for nearly 30 years and used mostly Canon equipment. The gear was fantastic but after I left the industry, I developed a fascination for Leica cameras and particularly the Q3. I love the simplicity and size and performance. But then I had an itch for an SL camera. The

SL3 or SL3s as second to Q343

Yes, one of the reasons I sold my Q3 was for nighttime photography, thinking a medium format sensor would capture more light. MF works great, but you know—Leica is Leica. That said, for the same reason, I chose the SL3S for its high ISO, which I can denoise in post.

Has anyone moved from the Leica SL3 to the X2d ii?

I made this exact move… If you only use the sl3 for stills, it’s a no brainer. If you use it as a hybrid at all for video, you’ll have to fill that gap. I sold my sl3 apo35/50 sl and got a lumix s5ii with the Leica 24-70 2.8, and have not looked back. Bonus points for the lumix getting 99.5% of the
