SL3

Jesus, you could buy a Leica Q3 or an SL3 for that, including a kit lens. That's bananas. People with GAS who feel the need to grab the latest gear will mindlessly line up for it though. There's a sucker born every minute.

not really, the m ev1 is a great well built camera but so are pro cameras from other brands, its clearly a product with a huge profit margin and not a handheld piece of art that costs more to produce than others on the market. same goes for the q and sl series as well. an item can be a luxury produc

not exactly, the point of a rangefinder is maniy having a rangefinder mechanism which compeletely changes how you use the camera and its a unique mechanism than anything else, although the sl3 is basically an a7riv for more money. also the native m mount makes rangefinder lenses shorter since you do

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

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

I think the best deal in the Leica world is to buy the penultimate model of a good used camera. As an M11 user, which is my main camera, I had the same needs as you and bought an SL2-S with a Sigma 24-70mm f/2.8 and I think it's fantastic. The SL3-3 is a bit lighter and more compact, but when you us

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

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

Great answer! After all, what is the “Leica” feeling? I shoot an M because I enjoy the lack of features, I want this minimalist approach in my personal photography. Because of my love for the M system I was considering switching to the SL3 for my professional work, and as a part of this I arranged a

You should check SL3 is mind blowing and so are their primes. AF is now better than Fuji and in pair with Nikon - besides sports though. For primes, that’s the way to go dude: you’re getting premium Sigma A and Leica glass. I’d be particularly interested in what you think about 135/1.4 and 200/2 Onl
