Chris Edwards Posted December 10, 2021 Share #1 Posted December 10, 2021 Advertisement (gone after registration) I bought a Q2 about a year ago, & I just love it!, it is such a joy to use. I have been a Nikon user for a number of years, & have a Z6, with a nice selection of lenses geared towards portraits & sports photography. My daughter is beginning to take photography more seriously & I’m thinking of gifting the Z6 to her. So…. Whilst the Q2 is a thing of beauty I do need the ability to have interchangeable lenses, my question to the forum is whether the SL2-S (with the kit lens) would make a sensible compliment to the Q2?, otherwise I might just end up with a Nikon Z7ii, which is of course capable, but not a Leica! All opinions welcome….. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

tom0511 Posted December 13, 2021 Share #2 Posted December 13, 2021 Sl2-S or SL2 has the advantage of: same menue system, same UI logic like Q2, same battery, comparable color. Z7II - you know what you get from using the Z6, a major advantage is that the Nikon lenses are reasonable lower priced and still very good. You get slightly better AF tahn SL2-s but you get a different UI aand differemt (IMO less intuitive) menue system, and colors out of Nikon are not allways up to Leica cameras out of hte camera (for my taste). 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandokan Posted December 25, 2021 Share #3 Posted December 25, 2021 Welcome and if you have the funds to kit yourself out with Leica lenses, the the SL2-S is a worthy camera ... but be aware, once you start on Leica lenses, the M lenses are very capable and make for a smaller package than the Z and with so many to choose from, you start getting addicted to the different looks from different lenses.

Chris Edwards Posted December 25, 2021 Author Share #4 Posted December 25, 2021 Thanks for the comment Sandokan!.... I did purchase the SL2-S this week.... & yes I fear that is just the start of the investment. Which are your favorite lens combinations to pair with it? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandokan Posted January 4, 2022 Share #5 Posted January 4, 2022 (edited) I have the 24-90 and for Xmas, got the 90-280. I would buy the SL 75 Summicron and the SL 50 Summilux but as I already have the M75 Summicron and Summilux and the M50 Apo, I find it hard to justify the native SL lenses. If starting new, I would look at the fixed focal length summicrons (f2) but the zooms are excellent. My favourite focal length is between 35 and 50 and is the 40mm where I use the Sigma M 40/1.2 but they have a SL version too.

Sigma does not make lens in M mount. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandokan Posted January 5, 2022 Share #7 Posted January 5, 2022 Advertisement (gone after registration) Yes you are correct - my error. I mean the Voigtlander 40/1.2 but Sigma have the 40/1.4 Art lens in SL mount which I am considering. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
