Who wants an Interchangeable Lens AF Q camera?

Interesting. Why not? (serious question).

Well, perhaps not just as described, but why is the Q compact but the SL isn't?

 

I'm sure there are compelling reasons that will shut us up, but it is a real shame.

 

We all know that an interchangeable-lens Q  system would be a real winner. 

 

If only the impossible weren't so awkward.

Personally I hope Leica will bring out a Q with a different lens such as a 35mm on with 50mm and 75mm crops.

 

Most importantly I hope that Leica will bring out a weather sealed Q.

Actually, I am wondering if Leica will do what Fuji did for their X-100 series, by introducing tele-converter lens to covert 28mm to 35mm, 50mm, etc

No interchangeable lenses if that means getting as big as the SL..

 

It doesn't. Such solution would probably be a little larger than the Q, but not significantly larger. It is important to understand that the design goals for the two cameras, Q and SL, were simply very different. And I'm not at all surprised if I'm told that the SL project begun first. I actually assume it did.

 

As a customer, an SL Lite that is closer to Q would make a lot of sense. It is not realistic to expect seeing one anytime soon, though.

And they may name it SLK :-)

I would like a Q with a TRI-ELMAR, perhaps 35-50-75mm, or even just a "BI-ELMAR" 50-75mm as the 28mm Q is already covering the wide side. As an alternative, a fixed focal 50 or 75mm would be fine.

In fact your Tri-Elmar comment is a good one. I do not see any Q getting bloated like the SL.
