microview Posted April 4, 2019 Share #21 Posted April 4, 2019 Advertisement (gone after registration) Nikon z7 was recent purchase, with new 50 1.8 (superb resolution) and 35 1.8 (almost as good) lenses. Helpfiul video guides out there and have more or less managed with the set-up. But after Leica simplicity….. Weight is managable too but it's an depressingly ugly thing after say, the Leica Q P – a really fine piece of industrial design. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daedalus2000 Posted April 4, 2019 Share #22 Posted April 4, 2019 (edited) Sigma, DPm and dpQ series, there is something special in these files (but only for low iso) Edited April 4, 2019 by Daedalus2000 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tobers Posted April 4, 2019 Share #23 Posted April 4, 2019 I really liked my Fuji X100. It just feels very nice, with lovely images too. And the lens doesn't stick out so far compared to the Q, making it a more portable/pocketable camera. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TopherPhoto Posted April 5, 2019 Share #25 Posted April 5, 2019 Oddly my favorite images have come from my Sony a7rIII paired with a canon 35 1.4 L lens. That being said, I’m very much in awe of the Q images I’m getting! Have Fuji X100T and am selling cause it never met my expectations... raw files just blah. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

m9photo Posted April 5, 2019 Share #28 Posted April 5, 2019 Canon 5DSR, my workhorse for landscape and architectural photography. Alongside with 17/f4 TS-E lens, i also still keep my 35/85/135 L lenses, I don't do zooms anymore. Everything else my Q is there for me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

StilettodudeQ Posted April 11, 2019 Share #32 Posted April 11, 2019 I would have to be the odd one out and list my Pentax DSLRs (K1, K5IIs) and something like 18 lenses, including several premier primes. The good news is that I can use any of my Pentax lenses with my M10 as well. That said, I do find many applications for my K1 and its lenses where I need tight macro and long reach. Generally, my M10 and Q are the best complement to my Pentax stuff. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do wish you could clear all that peripheral info when looking through the EVF and just have focusing square when framing. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

iRandom Posted April 12, 2019 Share #36 Posted April 12, 2019 I went through the same thing as the original poster. Got the Q, absolutely loved it and loved how easy the files are to work with in LR, but felt the need to still have other focal lengths. I tried Sony (a7ii & rx100 vi) and Fuji (X-Pro2 & X-T2). Image quality of all were nice, but I found I had to do a lot more work in LR to achieve it. Tried other editors and came to the same conclusion. And I also found that I just didn't enjoy having to do that much editing. I also found that I didn't enjoy using the others near as much as the Q. I had also considered the SL but found it too large. I considered the CL but I would need IS for the focal lengths I wanted to use. I had used Canon and Panasonic in the past and didn't really want to go back. So, after much soul searching, I've decided that I can probably live without the extra focal lengths since my usage of such was not all that common after getting the Q. My current plan is to stick with the Q (Q2 once one becomes available for me) and my phone as my only cameras. If I ever have a real need for other focal lengths I suspect it will be a one-off type of thing and I can rent to cover the need. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
T.J. Posted April 14, 2019 Share #37 Posted April 14, 2019 Nikon D5/D850 is a superb wildlife and Landscape combo, but it’s a lot to haul around. They say the best camera s the one you have with you. That’s why for travel that’s not wildlife/landscape specific I purchased the Q2. On the airplane enroute to Lisbon with my Q2 for its first trip. We’ll see!
