Funny thing but since my post i have become much more of a 28mm user especially for people pics and that focal length now accounts for about 50% of my images.

Glad your enjoying your Q2 and its a very interesting camera without a doubt although i am very happy with my m262 and small selection of lenses.

The macro feature was a stroke of genius by leica without a doubt.

I do enjoy the Q2 Macro option alot for plants and animals. Right now i using M10 with 35mm f2 and Q2 28mm. I do have 50mm f2 lens but i dont really use it. I am considering a 35mm f1.4 lens and still pondering. Switch from Q2 to M10... not easy to learn the RF function and manual focus on M10. Still learning to use the M10.

I don't want to sound like a heretic but...
since I also have problems with focusing with the 90mm APO with the M10-P...
what do you think about combining the M10-P + Summilux 35mm Aspherical combo (yes the one with 2 aspherical lens) with a Nikon Z6 II + Novoflex adapter for the 90mm?
Is it really a heresy?

thanks for your reply

The q2 only makes sense if your favourite lens is 28mm and your a fan of EVF photography.

.... and AF

 I have some M lenses and two M bodies already. So, I have a bit of a dilemma here.

1. What M lenses do you have?

2. What do you use most and / or only?

3. Withs the Q2 and the MP you can easy crop the picture

Excellent combo. I have used the Z6 with many M and R mount lenses of longer focal lengths including the M 90 APO with excellent results. IBIS and magnified liveview on the Z6 make manual focussing and handheld shooting a breeze.

I am 62 and only used auto-focus for 18 months with my olympus pen and could not really get used to it although i noticed in a camera shop it was quicker than the Q[ version 1 ] to focus.

Probably best to keep the Q2 while you get up to speed with your RF focus technique .

I own a 50mm summicrom v5 which i do not use that much but when i do it produces nice images.

So far i carry my Q2 w 28mm lens and shoot M10 with 90mm f2 APO.

Q2 can do the wide angle and while M10 can do the zoom in shooting. I do wish M10 had the in built image stabilisation.
