keithlaban.co.uk Posted January 21 Share #1 Posted January 21 Advertisement (gone after registration) So, here's a hypothetical for y'all. Given the choice would anyone have preferred to see a Q3 50 with a f/1.4 Summilux lens rather than the Q3 43 APO? Just putting it out there... 😉 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

FrozenInTime Posted January 21 Share #3 Posted January 21 Q3 40/1.4 non-APO pancake with 24Mpixel SL3-S sensor; both pocket and wallet friendly. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cogito Posted January 22 Share #4 Posted January 22 The images rendered with the 43 f2 APO are outstanding, unless the AF was improved I wouldn’t want to be shooting with a wider aperture. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, the 43 APO is awesome, but the option of using a Summilux wide open in manual focus could have been very tempting. Cake and eat it, I guess?

Deeetona Posted January 22 Share #8 Posted January 22 What about a Q3-D 50mm Summilux but without a display Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used M cameras professionally for many years, but unfortunately a serious eye condition has meant I can no longer reliably focus the rangefinders. I'd also now miss many features that are part and parcel of modern EVF bodies. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bent Posted January 23 Share #11 Posted January 23 I have both 28 and 43, though use 43 very little. The difference in focal length is too small to merit the 43, in my opinion, as cropping possibilities are extreme. To merit a new Q3, in my opinion, focal length should be double of 28, make a 58 and I will be the first to get it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
keithlaban.co.uk Posted January 23 Author Share #12 Posted January 23 I have the 43 but not remotely tempted to add the 28. That said, a 50 f/1.4 - however unlikely - could possibly give me a twitch. But which would I keep? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
