Thinking of getting an SL

With the cost of used SL's coming down, I'm thinking of getting one.  I currently have a CL.  I use to have a Q but the constant 28mm seemed too confining for me so I traded for the CL.  I have a few M lenses from when I had an M8.  My questions for all the SL owners here is how well will the M lenses work on the SL?  Is focusing a problem? (I have the M-adapter L and they work fine on the CL)?  The second question is how will the 18-56 that came with my CL work on the SL?  is there any vignetting and if there is can it be corrected? The last question I have is how does the SL compare to the Q in regard to image quality?

Thanks

Jim

M lenses will work superbly on the SL.  The viewfinder is excellent.

No vignetting with the 18-56 (nor with any of the T lenses) and it works superbly as well.  The only limitation is the 10 megapixel file from the APSC lenses.

I do not think you'll see any difference in IQ between the SL and Q.

Hi , 

I've in the same case. I have a CL and just bought a SL to use with my M Lenses. I'm very happy with the result, I will test it more as soon as this Coronovirus lets me leave the house. 

Take care everybody.
