PhotoCruiser Posted December 28, 2020 Share #3 Posted December 28, 2020 Why should Leica change a winner and wise engineered camera to a arguable "better" camera? Does it really change sooo much to have 1.4 instead of 1.7? Is a hybrid AF (i guess RF was a typo) so much better than the one actaully used on the Q series. Would the M240 and the 24mm or 35mm be a inferior camera than the Q2 with a 28mm f1.4? Would the M240 and Summilux 35mm be sooo much bigger and heavier to carry around than the Q2 If i had your setup i would use the M240 with the 24mm Summilux to do that what i do using the Q2.

Sandokan Posted December 29, 2020 Share #6 Posted December 29, 2020 I meant, why 1.4 and why a 1.7 isnt good enough? and. why a RF in the AF ... DoF is large on a 28mm. But i guess for macro? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fujis have a hybrid viewfinder, but no rangefinder mechanism. Fuji advertises them as "rangefinder-style" cameras, not as rangefinder cameras. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That you can ask why people buy 1.2 when 1.4 is available, why 0.95 when 1.2 is available btw, wiki summilux , it's supposed to be 1.4 to qualify as summilux 3 hours ago, tom.w.bn said: The Fujis have a hybrid viewfinder, but no rangefinder mechanism.

Or is it just to have it or ask for the impossible ??? vor 17 Stunden schrieb jaeger: something like that but Leica needs to impress me creating something more profound, since its price tag is 5x more. Well at this point i fear that it would be probably better decision to buy the Fuji and use the remaining money to do some travels to use the new camera. Or if you wanna stay in high cost cameras you may consider the new Zeiss and a lens you like? Chris 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

After reading all - no, I do not see your wishes being supported. Magnification in MF is more accurate than a RF and the focus peaking is as good. Yes 1.4 is a more desirable number than 1.7, but with a 28mm lens, DoF difference is indistinguishable, so the lighter weight of the 1.7 is better. Better luck with M Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hate to say but the Q's auto focus does suck on face detection mode. Caused me to loose many quick candid shots before figuring it out. On spot or small area detect it's great and of course manual too. Just have to learn to work around certain things, otherwise it is my main goto camera for street or family events. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herr Barnack Posted January 1, 2021 Share #16 Posted January 1, 2021 I don't use the Q2's face detection, preferring the spot or area autofocus. These modes work just fime. As for the f/1.7 of the lens, being 1/2 EV slower than the 28mm Summilux M doesn't bother me, especially with the Q2's ISO capability. I have always puzzled over calling the f/1.7 lens a Summilux, though. Apparently Leica decided against calling the Q2's lens the 28mm Quasilux or 28mm Pseudolux. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cboy Posted January 1, 2021 Share #17 Posted January 1, 2021 +1 add to the suggestion a 35mm FLE instead of 28mm then im sold haha. More compelling argument for getting a 35 FLE summliux lens and you get a hybrid rangefinder camera for free right hahaha Given the limitation of the rangefinder system people will migrate to a hybrid Q than an M. At least many fuji x users will migrate to leica...Leica may likely gain market share for once lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
