@@rashidahmad69 I shoot Canon for my day job, and the SL2s was my walk around every day camera, but found I was leaving it behind due to the weight. I’d tried to the Q2 a couple of years ago, but found 28 too wide for my every day. 43 for me is just right!
The 43 is top notch. I have it and Q3 and the SL3. I see your point about the weight. Courious choice for top down video?? Good luck with sale. It is a very good landscape camera.
I really just wish Leica considered for once making a range finder for the masses. Even if it touched 4500-5000, imagine the vastly more amount of people that could try it out. I truly like their designs and the tactile looks, the blender of curves and blocky areas. And then you see they're essentially like $10k.
@@rashidahmad69 their other attempt includes the Panasonic D-Lux. But it’s really just a good little Panasonic camera, as you probably know. Don’t even have any real complaints with it except that it can’t be said to give you a Leica experience, only a good “generic” compact camera experience. Very extreme opposite of the new M-cameras!
@@thatsreallyamoon I tested the D Lux 7 but couldn’t see a world when I’d take it out over my (then) Q2. It just didn’t feel great and the photos I got were just ok. There was no Leica magic!
Hmmm I guess it’s a very use case thing. I use it to shoot portraits, products such as fine jewellery, fashion work, interior design & it’s been great tool for me along with the 16-35, 24-90 & the 90-280. I was using the Fuji GFX for the last 5 years & I don’t shoot sports not videos. I do have the Q3 & the Q3 43.
@@GOKULLRAW yeah this really is a case by case thing. Don’t get me wrong I took some great shots with those lenses too. 16-35 never really fascinated me but I have the other two you mentioned. I think I’d get the same results for my style with a Sony or canon!
@@rashidahmad69 you’ll love the Sony then. I have the canon R5 & the RF lenses. I want to sell the kit & jump to Sony for all the fast paced work I used it for. I find the Canon over all bulky & the images from it are overly sharp. (At least on captureone) Good luck Rashid.
Why I like the Leica. Details are amazing (I find it better than on my GFX FUJIFILM) but file size is half. Sharpness is just about right, not too soft not too sharp. No focus breathing (sometimes when I have to focus stack it’s the best with non breathing lenses) on all the 3 zooms. The 90-280 is the APO lens when you shoot contrasty products there are no chromatic aberrations & the 3 Dimensional look. The SL3 sensor has amazing dynamic range & what one can achieve with that file is amazing. I conclude this after using the Fujifilm Gfx 50s, 100s, Canon R5, Nikon Z9 for a while. The Leica 24-70, 70-200 were built for speed which I don’t own. I really feel in your case it’s the wrong tool for the job. I really wish you find what you are going to be happy with.
@@GOKULLRAW Thanks! I got rid of the SL on Friday just before this went live along with the 90-280. I wont let go of the Q3 though! That's one camera I truly love.
Exactly where I have ended up. The SL line of Leica cameras and lenses are unnecessarily huge, deficient in autofocus, behind the industry in video, minimal in other standard mirrorless features, and unjustifiably expensive. I use top end Sony equipment for autofocus needs and video needs. The industry leader is such things, along with advanced sensors. I use Leica M because I like the M lenses, the form factor, the still shooting experience, and the unique images the M system produces.
@@stevendente9270 so good to read this mate. I was starting to think I was alone. Yeah the M experience is basically where it’s at for Leica with the Q being a more consumer friends version.
Same, I sold off my SL3 after lugging it around my last trip. It’s not really the size (the SL3 is reasonably compact), but Leicas obsession with making everything out of metal just makes it (and their L glass) annoyingly hefty. It feels totally the opposite with my M11, same great sensor (and they don’t even try to do video with it 😂) and so much fun to use. Loved my Q2 when I had it as well.
I think getting mad on SL3 for bad video is a bit unreasonable IMO as they are for short clips here there and not for video usage much honestly. they are still niche cameras after all and not a workhorse like others.
I’m getting mad because it’s a hybrid camera. And because the CF cards keep freezing. That’s a fault of the camera as I have two cards and both bought from Leica. And remember, M cameras don’t have video. So they shouldn’t offer it if it’s junk.
@@diabeticonboard6459 “most of the time in here that’s what it ends up doing!” I’ve used it for a lot more than that mate! Will watch some of your videos now as a fellow T1.
