Leica certainly have something about their IQ that I like, more the older glass too. I guess I could sell every bit of camera gear I have and buy one lens, would then need to remortgage to afford a body :lol:

Its really a FOV choice first though, the Q is 28mm and the Sony 35mm (the X100F is also 35mm, and with the WCL approx 28mm)

I agree hence I find Sony to be more practical. If I am going to be stuck with one focal length but with an amazingly sharp lens then I'd pick 35mm on a 42mp sensor so I get plenty of cropping room too.
 
They'll supposedly AF better i.e. native lens like performance.

Tbh those lenses look really silly. I don't care for looks but even to me they seem ugly enough not to buy them :P
 
Was near for pulling the trigger on the Zeiss 135 2.8 with the 400 off. Does anyone here use that lens ?
 
I'm waiting for the Sony 135mm f1.8 G Master :D
May also get the Sony 100-400mm G Master.
Really hoping Sony bring out a 35 and 50mm G Master in the future.

:D

I know, I was very tempted after trying out an M240 last year, great fun to use but realistically I couldn't manual focus all the time, and obviously I'd want an M10, almost £6000 for 1 body? I'd need to be nuts.

Do it, it renders images beautifully, didn't think a 28mm could ever interest me.

I have to agree, I took a 28mm Voigtlander on the A7riii to Amsterdam and found it a great focal length, just that little wider than my (up to now) preferred 35mm, cracking bit of kit and fits in my coat pocket!! - Dear - yes but frankly it blows a X100 out of the water..

True, its not cheap (neither is a used Q) but I think it might be worth it, for me this year my photography is going to be about taking more shots and being less obsessed with kit, last year outside of Berlin I can count on on hand the places I took photo's in (mainly near home), I want to have the drive to get out and shoot more and take more photos and that may well be helped by adding a Leica Q to my bag and either losing some Sony kit or maybe changing. I never took as many photo's as when I had my X-Pro 2/ XT2 or even further back my D800.

Its funny using the car industry as an analogy, because in the long run I don't believe Tesla will be the big winners from Electric cars, it'll be one of the traditional makes like Ford, Mercedes or VW that finally crack it,... maybe Canon/Nikon are that equivalent in the camera market?....

Lol, got to love this thread for GAS. In one paragraph you’ve become schroedinger’s photographer. Both less obsessed with kit and planning to add another camera at the same time :0)

I probably didn't word it properly, what I really meant was I want to get to a kit I'm happy with, and that might take some change on my part.

Are you really using your kit that much to justify it all... or just collecting?

Why would they make GM when the zeiss 35mm and 50mm are basically GM level lenses! doesn't make any sense.
