I think size and weight is fine overall, if you consider what the lens covers. Along with the camera, we are talking about 2kg in hand, of course. Flexibility is great, however. I do not have a problem with the weight. Maybe check out this video:

The Miami crew did compare wides from L-mount, but also in comparison to the WATE and the 21SE. The M lenses turned out to be surprisingly good.

I am objecting neither 😊

Any hint on your rangefinder focussing abilities ...? 😁

Proof that this is a sweet lens

I have recently sold my Nikon Z stuff and bought into the SL system. Everything bought used short of the dual charger 😃, so it was practically a straight trade. Now after the first holidays using the SL3 with the 24-90 I have used this lens for about 2/3 of all the photographs I took. And that is from someone who hardly ever used to use zoom lenses (vario ...). It is really a great lens and for me it has the right amount of sharpness, similar to M lenses. In the beginning I was concerned about the weight, size and f4 practically from 60ish onwards, but honestly, all that does not matter that much. It focusses quite close, too and with a Canon Achromat even closer with more than acceptable image quality.

The Q Bag carries my M10 lens attached (summilux 50 for instance) plus two not too large M lenses stacked back to back, separated from the camera with a divider. It is a little busy but it works well.

Like the M9

No way. They are busy now setting up a production like for Leica tights.

I would consider the Q3 the better camera overall. The sensor is definitely better than the Q2 and for Street photography and similar stuff the flip-out screen is quite a difference. If you can find a deal on a Q3, it should not be crazy more expensive than a used Q2. However: Any Q is better than no Q at all.

I think the SL3 can replace your SL3-S and gives you the wanted addition of pixel-peace-of-mind. I would rent one for a weekend and check AF and noise behavior. From what you wrote, it seems the camera pays for itself plus the Qs are very useful for your event stuff.

It goes both ways - I just bought a very well priced SL2S to team with my M lenses 🙈

They are wonderful. The 65 is great for landscape, actually. If you already have it don't worry. Else, maybe compare the MTF of the 65 and the 75. The 75 is significantly lighter and there is no rubber to come loose ...
