I notice that some of you are talking about Sigma-lenses. I'm a bit hesitant to pair Leica with Sigma, mainly because of the quality. i mean - for me, a Leica body with Sigma-lenses would be like buying a Maserati, with 1.6l diesel engine, and putting on the cheapest and crappiest wheels you can find.

The Sigma lenses are superb. And as always, the most important factor in any image is the composition and the moment you chose to press the shutter, not the few percent in pixel quality. A lot of professionals are shooting music festivals with 24mpx bodies, or maybe 50.

The Leica Q3 is available for pre-order at B&H Photo Video and Adorama

Don’t forget that Leica even rebadged Sigma lenses before

Many good answers here, thank you all.

I have for now decided to keep the R6 MKII + 70-200 and 100-400 for cases where i need fast AF and tele.

And use SL2-S for everything else. Both systems are usually with me anyway. 

Final question then, will you say the SL2 is a good buy still? To pair with the SL2-S of course. 
Just to have a higher MP body available, for daylight photo in my events and studio. 

I have a few one available here in quite good condition, price range 2200-2500 EUR. (Norwegian Krone is not very strong against anything else)
