Hello, a newcomer is here 🙂 I was heavily engaged in amateur film photography in 2000-es and have collected a bush of film cameras/lenses but my last acquisition of photography equipment was in 2013 when I have bought a Sony A7 mostly to use it with my manual lenses. I was not very satisfied with the results comparing to film + evf was so worse comparing to ovf of my Minolta XD-7/11 so since then for digital photo I used mostly PS and my smartphone. But couple of weeks ago YouTube recommendations showed to me a video with some new mirrorless cameras and my interest for "digital body + manual lenses" arised again. Googling the threads on the photography forums has left my attention to the three variants of digital cameras: Panasonic Lumix S5ii, Nikon Zf and... Leica SL series, which are good for manual lens combo. I don't like the look of Panasonic, so I choose between Nikon Zf and Leica SL now. Not SL2-s, because SL (used) and Zf (new) are in the same price tag now, but SL2-s is $1000 more expensive. I've read several opinions that Zf has much more advantages (IBIS, low light etc) than SL, but is it really necessary to make digital photos now as my film cameras don't have any of them. SL is old but it is Leica. So maybe someone can give an advice about quality of pictures these cameras could give with non-Leica manual lenses. My collection is full of MD Rokkors, Zeiss Jena and some good examples of Soviet LTM lenses, but I don't have any Leica lenses (so sad). Thanks in advance!
