Which M shares Q2 colour science ?

Hi Q users

I'm looking for some advice from Q users who are familiar with using M10/M10-R,M11 .. 

I'm considering a new camera have just done a deep-dive into Flickr images of various Leica cameras. In doing so I've realised I picked out a lot of images shot with either Q2 or SL2.   I realise there is a lot of variables at play (photographer ability light , post-production) but despite that I was still surprised so may of the images I was drawn to were shot with Q2 or SL2 

Firstly, is it possible those 2 cameras share a similar colour science ?

Regardless of that, would anyone here be able to advise which of the M mount cameras (M10 and onward) share the closest colour science to SL2 ?  (I would prefer to purchase M camera since I have a lot of glass, and I'm not looking to adapt them to anther mount).

I've posted the same question in SL forum about the SL2

Thanks in advance of any help!

Probably the m10 is the closest. In m11 there is a noticeable irritating magenta cast. M10r is slightly more yellow compared to q2

I was thinking the same about M10.  I'm not fully convinced by M11 on a number of levels including the magenta but still considering it

Leica will probably fix the color in the m11 someday, but they rarely manage to fix errors and flaws quickly enough. Otherwise, the Leica m11 is a great camera that has many advantages over the m10

I agree on the Q2 vs M11 but I’ve never used the M10 so can’t comment on that. Personally, it has no effect on me as the first thing I do after importing the files in Capture One is to adjust the exposure and white balance so the files look the same 2 secs later

Hi,

Because of my eyes I sold the M10.

Then sold the Q2 because I loved the colours of the M10 and bought an SL2S. Never regret it.

Q3 is also very similar.

M10r comes closest to the colors of the Q2 / SL2 

The M11 is a generation ahead with clear advantages over the M10r

But, the M10r Black Paint version is gorgeous
