And it may not be a fair comparison. It appears to me that more aggressive sharpening has been applied to the SL shot: the dark eyelashes on the subject's right eye seem to have bright halos and the bright hair stands in the upper right of the shot seem to have dark halos.

I think Erwin frontfocused ever so slightly in that DMR shot. ;)

Makeup on the eyelid? Now we are into pixel peeping!

 

And thank Erwin for, again, an insightful article.

Interesting.  Steve Huff went from: "I am a bit let down this time from Leica" and "Sony A7 copy" to:

 

Camera of the Year 2015!

 

Full credit for publicly admitting that his first impression was wrong.

 

Apparently his view changed the moment that he touched a real one. 

 

With me, I was already quite keen on the camera but, when I touched one, it was no longer an option - I had to have it.  Would have sold my kidneys if necessary.

 

Which makes me wonder: Has Leica laced the black finish with some kind of mind-altering, skin-penetrating drug?   :)

 

I will leave you all to ponder that while I go fondle my SL for a while...

 

Regards

There's a review of the SL with 50mm lenses up on Reid Reviews.

 

Whenever I log onto his page, I think to myself, never again.  Then I see the lens he's testing is an out of production LTM Cosina Voigtlander Colour Skopar f/2.5 50mm lens, and I think why bother?  I want to know how the SL performs with current Leica lenses, not $300 secondhand out of production Voigtlanders, or Zeiss or any other third party lens manufacturer's products.  I want to know what happens with Leica's current lenses.  The second lens is the CV f/1.5 Nokton ... ho hum.

 

If I thought I could get a refund, I'd cancel my subscription ...
