  1. It was just out of warranty by a few months.
  2. I think it is not as simple. Do you want to enjoy taking photos, I have or have every version of the Sony a7R*, to me it is a safe bet, boring to use and occasionally fighting with a computer that thinks to know better. If photography goes back to basics the Leica cameras are a great experience. If you follow the concept you don't need 10-20-30- frames a sec, and care about the moment and composition, then you will find yourself shooting single-frame AFs. The Sony lenses are getting better every day, the G-master II's are good, and probably 98-99% from all manufacturers out there. There is nothing wrong with getting Panasonic and Sigma lenses, they have a place in the Leica world, so much so that Leica put some time into it in rebranding them. You need a 2.8 zoom, that is sigma, you want superwide, that is sigma too. If you want light and fast focusing and good for video, that is Panasonic lenses. I have most of the Leica zoom and APO lenses and they are good if all you care is image quality, but if you get past it, you will realize that sharpness is not everything and you want some magic. Yes, it is a rabbit hole. Apo lenses are a little slower focusing, and heavy to carry, maybe not one on the camera, but 3-4 in a bag will make you feel it. Since nobody is saying it, I will. The service of Leica is going to challenge your patient. I just updated all Leica lenses with new firmware, the 50 APO failed the update and I had to send it is, I will see it back in 7 months and will cost $640. so yesterday I didn't buy another apo, I got the Panasonic 50mm for $350. All and all it is not a bad lens and happy to use it. My last point is the Flash is not great and the only one you can use it Leica for TTL.
  3. If you shoot people, the APO lenses are only good for young people. they show too many skin details otherwise. For other applications, it is nice to see all the details too. But then you may still want a lens that is vintage with little character and can get a summilux-M
  4. sorry, that does not make any sense! SL2s had only a stop over SL2, and SL3 has a stop over SL2. Shooting at 6400 is fine and you won't get the oversharpen edges from trying to sharpen.
  5. It is in store in NY, I just didn't get it.
  6. Not that I want the changes on my SL2, but... Leica is a company with limited resources, a team works on SL3 software, I imagine with time it will get to SL2 software too. It is not the case that they work on the firmware all the time is someone calls in a bug. In my experience, they will get to it when the next firmware update is scheduled. the process can take 3 months to a year. In that time they take note of changes requested, prioritize changes, leave room for new features, do beta testing, and release to consume. if you have worked with corporate teams, all that takes time. you can try it for yourself, but it will just say that there is no new update in the camera.
  7. must be lost in translation I would start reading the booklet that came with the camera. There is no Focus Assist Icon, and the bracketing would always be in Drive mode. in short: Yeah no!
  8. Capture One Mobile just added redesign camera controls and Live View SL3 is fully supported
  9. so that is when the subject is at the same distance, just pan the camera. that is great AF
  10. it keeps the focus setting from the fist image sorry to quick 5fps is 12bit
  11. let's be real.. how much better is the SL3 sensor in %%%?
  12. When this charger came out it had an issue. Nitecore replaces all does and there is a revised version out there now.
