I have a Q2 and a SL2-S and I love the simplicity of both cameras. I lost my passion for photography and with Fuji I found it again, but the Q2 made me curious. So now I am in the Leica world and I don't regret it at all. After reading and watching so many opinions on cameras, I was a little worried if I would miss all this functions and a "perfect" autofocus, but I have learned you don't need all of this. For me, all this makes my experience noisy. With a Leica there is just the camera, you and your subject. That's the beauty of it :) And on top of it, it's the best image quality.
I agree, 99% of all settings are mostly waste 😅 I think the Leica Q gets you as close as possible to shooting on an analog camera. And that's why I enjoy it. I've been curious about the SL house for a couple years. Been thinking about having it as my main work setup. But it is pricey to since you will need at least 2 lenses with it. Do you like it?
@@Michael_Odelberth try the evf on the SL2 or 2s and you will fall in love. With M lenses it’s amazing. But it sends you down a deep hole if you are not already in the M mount world. SL lenses are amazing but you know the price. Sigma/Panasonic L mount lenses are pretty good.
Hello Michael, I fully agree, the Leica Q is a Great camera. You gave a perfect description. After 6 years I am still happy with it. The 28mm lens is just perfect for me. I take Raw/DNG pictures so that I can develop them further in LR if necessary. Many thanks for sharing your lovely images with us all. Greatings, take care, Roger.😉
Thank you for watching Roger! 😃 Same here I edit all the DNG images in Lightroom. But I actually also found the JPEGs very good to transfer directly to your iPhone and simply edit them quickly there. Great results from little effort 👌
I’ve had my Q since it came out and it reconnected me to everything I’ve always loved about making images. I shoot almost exclusively in monochrome but am glad to have the color capability when I need it. I carry my Q with me everywhere and never want to part with it.
Yeah its a great way into the leica brand and photography. I started taking more photos when I got the Q, then started shooting film on the Leica M5 and just recently I got the Leica SL as well.
One camera I regret selling. Thought I was going to buy a Q2 for the weather sealing, but ended up with a Q2M. No regrets there, but I've been thinking of picking up a less expensive Q for color.
Yeah you usually get a better deal buying not the latest model. Since you still getting the Leica colours. Especially if you don’t care about the latest specs.
@@Michael_Odelberth It's just a wee bit shorter in length than the M10 maybe 0.5"-0.75" about the same width and height and feels the same weight as the M10 with the Voigtlander 35/2 Ultron II mounted. They both share space in a Wotancraft 7L Pilot bag along with 2 other M lenses.
@@mwales2112 Yeah I haven't used any of the Digital M cameras myself. But I shoot mostly on my Leica M5 which is a bit heavy, so in terms of size I like the Leica Q more.
The Leica Q (Typ 116), the one he uses here, has 24 mp. The lens is 28 mm / f1.7, which I use most of the time wide open. The lens can be focused manually end with AF incl. eye focus etc. The lens also has a Macro modus and image stabilisation. The lens is a stunner. For the price of the lens only (for M cameras, which means, without AF, Image Stabilisation and Macro mode) you get the complete Q. The Q is a no-brainer for anyone who wants to take pictures, instead of thinking about how to take the picture.
@@CaptainMilton Well its just a tool anyway. What matters the most is how much you shoot, that's how you will get better photos! Fuji is doing great cameras nowadays also!
