    Leica Q3 - 60mp

    I love tilt screeens, hate the fixed ones... Finally Leica caught up with other camera sensors and pdaf but I guess the lens is too big to af quickly, similar to RX1R II. Overgaard have the review with other Leica camera photos.... I like Jono's review as he is the official Leica tester (he...

    I spent 1.5 years in 2 years in Pocatello, Idaho on the other side of the Jackson Hole over the pass and flied every month to East Coast thru Salt Lake City hub... It's been 19-20 years, but most probably it might be similar now as all those destinations are controlled by Delta Airlines and...

    Fuji Maybe Fujifilm?

    I am using m43 with Pana 100-400mm and I found also there is not much improvement with the noise levels Oly RIII versions esp when I used in winter on short / dark days .... Longest and lightest Sony I can use is 70-350mm f4-6.3 apsc that is not that long.... The cheapest and small long tele...

    Per FM post: "Jesko von Oeynhausen just said in the live Leica Tech Talk about the M11 that there would be no other new products this year despite the most recent rumors. This is due to the effort that was required to create the M11. No Q3 this year."

    Leica Got an email from Leica ~ M11 teaser?

    https://www.dpreview.com/reviews/leica-m11-initial-review "The M11's shutter blades are open much of the time, allowing the main image sensor to be used for metering. They quickly swipe across the sensor when exposure is initiated (in mechanical shutter mode, at least)."

    Leica Leica SL2 - s

    RX1R II is nice for people shooting, but wide angle shooting at my travels is also my problem with RX1R II... Q2 solves that problem, but I even went lighter with Canon G1X III attached on my belt for casual shooting on my last vacation. However, the long end @ f/5.6 is slow with G1X III...

    Leica Leica SL2 - s

    As Matt said I don't see much difference in your shots btw SL2s and M10. Sl2/Q2 files are much bigger without lossless compression (not processing but more storage problem for me)... Q2 is same size as M10, not compact camera, but much smaller than SL2s (same size as my old Canon 5D dslr). Q2...

    Yes, I am surprised by the sharpness of the lens. It has nice bokeh also. IQ is above its size, similar to GR III.... Only in the extreme corners for the tree shot, I saw some fringing. It is definitely best pocket camera.... Coming from Contax g 45mm, I found it on the wider end at 39mm...

    Personal gear review

    +1. After using m43 & m lenses, I like the smaller combos... Sony finally figured out with A7C and smaller 40-50mm 2.5 with aperture on the lenses. They are not hot sellers like 50mm 1.2... You can try greentoe to get deals on them. Also I like what Sigma also did with the smaller dn lenses...

    Leica Inexpensive 28?

    I like the Avenon (Kobalux) 28mm f3.5 ltm better than Voigt 28mm f1.9 and Minolta 28mm f2.8 with Sigma FP. Avenon is good with the digital sensors including Sony esp when you stopped down to f8. It is very small and has high vignetting wide open. I learned it from a Japanese photographer. The...

    Sony Sony a7c -- FF in an a6000 body

    I guess you meant Fuji X-S10. I have only used the XF10. Apart from brand differences, it is more like pen-f/gx-9 body vs EM1 body differences eg depends on the lenses that you want to use... A7C has the latest af from Sony. Sigma has now native primes 24-35-45-65 and Sony has 24-40-50mm prime...

    Sigma Sigma Fp-L has an Interesting New Sensor

    That is a bummer. Original 24MP FP has read out speed of 1/30 sec which is somewhat better. Sigma should have used A9 sensor as an upgrade/make FP more usable to photographers... Sony has not sold that sensor to competition yet, but they can with A1 50MP being released... Dpreview initial review

    Cameras are slow to run, fixed lcd, contrast af that doesn't work in low light and only usable ISO 100/200, maybe 400. Love the colors, but you need to edit in SPP and that program is a pain to use. Also dynamic range was good compared to original Canon sensors which surpassed by the Sony...
