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

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

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

Leica SL3 was a flop in sales.Better get X2D II Superior in any way.

Great summary. In fact I agree with most of what is said here. I'm on the fence about my sl3-s. I shot canon for decades but 10 years ago got an M10. I all but stopped using the canon (and all the glass I'd accumulated over the years!) Every once in a while I'd need to take a shot that the M couldn'

I have a Q3 43. I sold all my extensive set of Fujifilm X series gear as I just ended up not using it. For a while I hauled it all around but never used it. I occasionally needed a bit wider than the 43mm lens on the Q so I bought a Leica D-Lux 8 to cover out to 24mm. I bought the more expensive D-L

For the record I say this as a former digital M user who is currently eyeing an SL3 as a personal body to use against the Lumix bodies I have for work. Leica is great but only when it's for the right reasons. As much as I want it to be the DLux has never been worth it. I wish they still made the CL
