Leica M11p

Pros: Sensor with a sensitivity such as to obtain 3 focal lengths from a single lens: with a 28 (60Mpx) you also have a 35 (36Mpx) and a 50 (18Mpx). In addition, with the Crop you only use the central part of the lens (the best). Perspective Control with each lens (using Lenses coded from 16 to 135). High ISO sealing. Long-lasting battery. With the rangefinder you can focus on what and when you want (very often you work in hyperfocal and it is faster than any AF). 256Gb internal memory: faster and safer saves, more responsive machine, no risk if you forget the card.

Cons: They are not cons but suggestions (or hopes for future evolution): the possibility of combining Perspective Control and Digital Zoom (1,3 and 1,8). Then maybe the stabilized sensor (with age I risk micromoves).

Opinion: Just returned to Leica. In the past I had the M4. P then sold because I needed a tilt-shift lens (architecture photo) and I couldn't continue to go around with two different systems (Leica and Nikon). I made the mistake of switching to Leica R (R5 - a blank promissory note for repeated repairs) on which I had mounted the modified Nikkor 28PC. Then back to Nikon. so in the transition to digital I went to Fuji (X-Pro 2 excellent electronic emulation of the Leica). Then switched to Canon R6 to have the bubble in double axis. then finally back to Leica: M11-P. I like it. It has everything and only what I need. With the R6 I used maybe 10% of the autofocus features etc. I also reduced the weight. Then the brilliant (already tested with the Fuji X100, but here more usable) of the triple resolution. I confess that I was tempted by Q3, very tempted, to reduce weight and change lenses. Then it has the Perspective Control that can be combined with the digital Zoom but .... the 28 (even if it is a 26) is not enough for me. Considering the cost of the body (even if I used A++++ practically new) I only allowed myself the Super Elmar 21/3.4. For the rest I went on Voigtlander: 10/5,6 and 50/2 Apo Lanthar, both really good. Just purchased VC 28/2.8 type II (very small and very light). Next Voigtlander purchases will be the 15/4.5 and 90 f2 Apo Ultron (although they are doubtful with the 90/2.8 Apo skopèar, lighter and smaller). I find the crop in the camera fantastic, practical and effective: you reduce the resolution ("at worst" you are at 18Mp) but you compensate by using the best part of the lens. Very satisfied. I will share photos shortly.
