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 “small” camera with the best manual focus experience right now is the Nikon zf. I’m a Q3 43 and SL3 shooter and the fact that Leica didn’t implement any focus aids other than magnification and focus peaking in this new M is dumbfounding.

That’s a defect, pure and simple. (I just verified it by going into a dark room with my SL3 and looking at all the screen corners.) And it’s an easy one to prove: just go to any Leica store and compare it back to back with their display model SL3.

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’ve got both a Leica SL3 and a GR ii. I’d probably sell the SL3 before my little Ricoh. But if it’s not for you, it’s not for you. The best camera you have is the camera you love to use the most.

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

I actually have the same question. I have owned the Leica Q before, as well as the Leica M9, M10, M11, SL, and SL2. Leica Q has probably one of the best color science I have seen. The Leica M11 is the only Leica whose colors I don't like, to the point that I decided not to buy the Leica Q3 and Leica
