If the flip screen is the hold-up, and the camera is, everything you want it to be, why not just ignore the the fact that it moves? Just a thought. As stated above, if they made a 3 without the features you mention, wouldn't it be a new model Q2? I very rarely look at the screen on mine. Good luck on your search!

You're right, it is a very special lens. Not for general use, but beautiful to my eye when used to good effect. Looks like the Voigtlander could easily replace it to give the same general mood to the image. Financially, the Voightlander makes sense, at the Noctilux's price, new is ridiculous (if even available) and 2nd hand is as much a wealth store as it is a money shot lens. I think the 75 Summicron Asph APO is a superb lens for the 2nd hand price, great on the M. I've always loved it's colours and 3d pop, with ergonomics and design in keeping with other M lenses. While great at what it does, it can't do what the Noctilux can do below f2. Good luck with your decision, money can always be found elsewhere, great glass like this is a personal guilty pleasure, people won't notice the subtleties either way, just the general mood of a fast aperture lens!. -
I hope some of you will humor me because I have not found this question asked. This is pretty long-winded for what I think is a rhetorical question in the end. I have seen so many replies on the forum from people much smarter than me so I want to make sure I am not missing something. I know these Sigma lenses can be a bit decisive and maybe there's a better place to ask this question but this is literally the only forum I am a member of and I have no social media accounts to appeal to. I shoot an SL2s, an SL3 and a Q2. I enjoy a wide variety of photography and do a little bit for pay and as such I own a variety of lenses of which some have value, either sentimental or earnings related. I'm going to break it down just a little in hopes in may help inform a more thoughtful reply. I switched from Canon to Leica two years ago and the one thing I took for granted was that every lens I owned previously was weather sealed. Right off the bat I'll say my focus is landscape photography. That said, I have a Sigma Art lens for Astro, another one for my very occasional dabble in wildlife photography and long lens landscape, a Lumix zoom for the paid stuff, and an adapted Canon lens for Macro. But for pleasure, I AM a prime shooter. It's just how my brain is wired. For that I own the Sigma Contemporary 35 and 50 and it mostly comes down to size, feel and performance. While I really do like these lenses quite a bit, they are only weather sealed at the mount and they just so happen to be the two lenses I have no sentimental attachment to and they don't earn me money. I recently purchased an M adapter and a couple of M lenses but that is a moot point because they're not weather sealed at all. That leads me to my question. If I go out and shoot in the rain or snow for an extended period of time with a lens that is not weather sealed internally, but is at the mount where it marries the camera, is it safe to assume that even if the lens is compromised, the camera will be protected? I tend to believe so, and why else would a lens be sealed at the mount and not elsewhere if it wasn't intended to be the failsafe. I have no idea how these things are built but doesn't stand to reason that the lens could take on an extreme amount of moisture before it made its way backwards into the camera body itself? Thanks for any input. -
