Why not go Leica Q?

similar resolution sensor It's the same sensor. Some people value compact size a lot and the Sony rx1 series cameras are absolutely tiny. For a fixed lens camera the Q series are pretty big. You can build a smaller kit if you buy a sony A7CR and use a small prime (again, same sensor). I'm also guess

Photographer Transformed a Panasonic Lumix G9 II Into a Leica Look-Alike :)

$2700 to build a fake micro 4/3 Leica that's the size of a full frame camera. While impressive it's also impressively pointless. It would make so much more sense to just go buy a Sony A7CR for almost the same price.

New Sony Camera announced: RXR1 III (A Premium Full-Frame)

If it was $3k I would understand it but at $5k it makes no sense just get the Fuji or pay a little more and get a Leica. If you really want a Sony just get the A7CR and a 35 1.8 for $1300 less.

What it looks like to stand under an F-18 Super Hornet flying just below the speed of sound!

Yep. I upgraded this past year from a Canon 70D to a Sony A7Cr, which is not even a dedicated action/sports body and it has such an insane leap in autofocus performance compared to my old camera.

Long shot but anyone interested in trading an X2D for my Sony system?

I traded my a7cr + lenses to get into MF with an x2d2. Looking at your lenses, what you might miss is the long lens choices. And possibly the size. Carrying around an X2D with 35-100 is a lot bigger package than the Sony with a 24-70. The longest current lens is 135, similar size to the 35-100, but

Leica guy shoots a Nikon.

Haaa. FWIW I AF my M lenses on Sony and Nikon with the techart adapters. Works better with some lenses than others but it’s generally great. Nocti 35mm / A7CR combo works so well I let my Q343 go last week.

Leica Q family is complete

I love the lenses; the simplicity of the menu system; the dials; that it is weather sealed; the size and weight. Everything about the camera is perfect IMHO. I sold my Ricoh GR iii, my Sony Alpha 1, and my Sony A7CR (and a boatload of lenses) because I found I was always reaching for my Leicas.

How do you comfortably carry your D850 or any other FF mirrored or mirrorless body?

The D850 is too heavy for a neck strap regardless of lens IMO. A hefty cross body strap is my preference, or a bag with the same cross body setup if I’m going to want quick access, but you need a pretty large bag to hold the beast. Backpack for longer amounts of walking between photos (e.g. landscap

NYPD’s Chief Aaron Edwards in pursuit of attempted ISIS-linked attacker this past Saturday.

NYC is peak street photography. Ive always carried my camera for with me and I don’t even shoot professionally anymore. A protest is naturally an interesting subject to shoot and it wasn’t a sudden mystery. A modern camera like my Sony A7CR can lock on to a persons eye for focus before I can even fu
