SL3

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

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

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

I use a Thypoch 28mm on an SL2-S and as I upgrade to the SL3-S I’ll be getting their 21mm. Extremely happy with the price to performance ratio. I particularly like the close focus support afforded via the SL (or CL or EV1). The only downside is that the f-stop behavior is annoying, but livable given

You may have convinced me on the sigma. The price of the Leica 70-200 was pretty ridiculous but the SL3-S has been amazing for my whitewater photography so I’ve just wanted to get more close up shots or experiment with hiking into good positions where the 28-70 wouldn’t have the reach. Have like 400

Yeah, those are bad choices. The sensor is too small to yield much more than the noise you described. Try to get at least a ASPC-sized sensor, if not full frame. Full frame will get you better quality (but honestly may not be worth the cost for you), and on the ASPC positive side, your lenses will a

If you want the rangefinder experience then the M is it and if you want low light then the latest gen BSI sensors in the M11, SL3/S and Q3/43 are the best. I have the M11M and the M11P and love them. I’ve never shot extensively with the SL system, but based on my brief encounters, it feels like a bi

If you want to stay with Leica get a used SL2 /3 /3s. You can shoot m lenses and there is a wealth of zooms, Marcos, and fairly spectacular Leica glass for about half the price of their M equivalent (apo35 / apo50 m/sl). R lenses are spectacular as well. SL3 for ok autofocus and similar color calibr

My vote goes to a good condition used M film body like an M3, M4, M4-2 (best bang for buck), M4-P, M6, or even an M5 if you don't mind the larger size. If you don't want to spend that much, look into a Voigtlander Bessa R4M. Digital Ms are okay, but the M system just doesn't feel right on digital to
