bender73 Posted December 18, 2018 Share #1  Posted December 18, 2018 Advertisement (gone after registration) Ok, I shoot pro on the side. 90% Seniors and for that I have a Sony A7RII and Batis 85mm. I have a chance to trade my Sony A7III and Batis 25mm for a Like new Leica Q. I will still have my portrait setup and 4K video so I guess I need someone to push me over the fence! I miss my M8 and X1. Thoughts? Good trade?

tomtofa Posted December 18, 2018 Share #2 Â Posted December 18, 2018 A7III + Batis 25 used = ~$2700-$2800. Leica Q used = ~ $3300-$3500. Sony/Batis will continue to drop more rapidly than Leica, probably . . . Â Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wda Posted December 18, 2018 Share #3  Posted December 18, 2018 As an adjunct to your professional work, the Q could be an enjoyable and capable alternative to a second Sony. You seem ready to accept the contrasting ergonomics and menu systems. I will add a link to my thoughts on the Q.

weeowee Posted December 20, 2018 Share #4  Posted December 20, 2018 I’m currently using both... I do love the Q more but haven’t been brave enough to have just one camera with a fixed lens. If you can live with 1 lens and you’re happy with the 28mm (and 35mm and 50mm crop) then the Q would be perfect. Financially speaking, I guess if the Q is worth more than the sony then you’ll have an easier time saving up for another sony down the line incase you ever want or need one again. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bags27 Posted December 20, 2018 Share #5  Posted December 20, 2018 He's keeping his other Sony and portrait lens...for portraits. This would be his 2nd camera. It'd be a swap for a different Sony and wide angle. So, why not? Of course, you're asking the choir here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can always sell it again if you decide the Q isn’t for you. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bender73 Posted December 20, 2018 Author Share #7  Posted December 20, 2018 Advertisement (gone after registration) Thanks! Yea, the Sony and Batis 85mm combo is my workhorse setup for senior portraits, families, and such. When I do a rare wedding, I use 14mm, 25mm (now 28mm with the Q), and 85mm. I don't own a zoom anymore. I hate them. :) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LexS Posted January 29, 2019 Share #8 Â Posted January 29, 2019 Why don't you rent a Q for two-three months and do use it for everything, with the Sony in the closet? Â Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
