dancook Posted May 21, 2023 Share #621 Posted May 21, 2023 (edited) Advertisement (gone after registration) This allows creatives the opportunity to crop to the focal length s of 28, 35, 50, 75 mm, and now also 90 mm. I doubt it.. but wouldn't it be nice if you could zoom in on the crop boundaries, instead of trying to compose the tiniest of rectangle.

Advertisement Posted May 21, 2023 Posted May 21, 2023 Hi dancook, Take a look here Leica Q3 ?. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
sebben Posted May 21, 2023 Share #622 Posted May 21, 2023 8K ProRes is quite a surprise. This bodes well for the SL3 as a bcam/gimbal can to a cinema camera. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sebben Posted May 21, 2023 Share #623 Posted May 21, 2023 Also a pity that they didn’t update the lens. I’m not a fan of the stretched and cropped 24mm into the shape of a 28mm. They could drop the speed to 2.0 as high iso is totally good enough and maybe make the whole package a bit more compact… 3 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of years ago Leica asked users if they would find it useful and how much they value it… not heard since. Maybe there is still hope? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

wlaidlaw Posted May 21, 2023 Share #626 Posted May 21, 2023 I have chosen to be optimistic about dealer stocks for next week and all my SL batteries are queuing up for a charge. I had not used my SL for 18 months and the battery was completely flat and it had lost the date and time. 2 or 3 minutes outside with a fresh battery and it had a satellite fix and received the correct time. This system works so well that it is disappointing that Leica chose to dump it for the flaky geotagging via Fotos. It cannot be a space issue as the Apple Watch also has GPS which must be tiny.

hexx Posted May 21, 2023 Share #627 Posted May 21, 2023 Advertisement (gone after registration) I’ll try to get in touch with Red Dot Cameras and Aperture - places I’ve bought my Leica products from in the past. The only dilemma I have is if it’s better to try to sell M240 and 28/2 ASPH on eBay or try to get a trade-in offer - never tried it before. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only time in recent years I got a good trade in offer was for a 35 ASPH Summicron against a 35 APO from Park Cameras in Burgess Hill. But then got messed about with by Leica UK for close to 6 months, when they decided, without telling dealers, that any stock of the 35 APO they got in, would only be sold direct from Leica Mayfair. A lens was actually ready to be packed up for Park Cameras and they had received the dispatch advice from Leica, when it got sold over the counter to a walk in at Mayfair. Park Cameras were angry; as I had already paid in full less the trade in, I was steaming. I could not even go back to the 35 ASPH as Park Cameras had already sold it.

panoreserve Posted May 21, 2023 Share #630 Posted May 21, 2023 (edited) Super: the battery compatibility (Q1/2; SL1/2/2S): A more powerful battery while maintaining the previous dimensions - I had already suggested this a few years ago in conversation with the SL product manager. At that time, they gave me little hope... Disappointing: no optical recalculation despite 60MP (for this you would have liked to have gone to 2.0)! No IBIS (would not, as with OIS, affect optical performance)! Edited May 21, 2023 by panoreserve 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simone_DF Posted May 21, 2023 Share #632 Posted May 21, 2023 "Wireless charging is also now possible with the new Leica Charging Pad and separate camera handgrip. This stylish charging pad and many other Qi-compatible devices conveniently recharges the new powerful BC-SCL6 battery of the Q3." Ok, so basically when travelling I can leave the Leica battery charger at home and bring with me only a wireless charger for both my smartphone and the Q3. This is a handy little feature to have. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

For high value items eBay just isn't worth the hassle sometimes I find MPB offer insulting low prices. The best reliable prices I have found from Leica itself.

Rather spend my time on photos. That said, I am not bothered with video on a camera as long as it doesn’t have its own buttons. Strangely I’m not bothered by stills and video in a camera… so long as neither has their own buttons. I prefer cameras that are activated much like the Hellraisers puzzle box. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
