Pros: Perfect for landscapes, excellent ergonomics, well studied in terms of functionality and keys, excellent video side (L-Log equals SL2), L-mount, Solid
Cons: Not compatible with the current Novoflex Q plates (and probably also from other brands), you can not set the Leitz R lens if the adapter lacks contact, lacks stabilization in the room. Eye gum.
Opinion: NB: Since i can't use more than 4000 characters I'll reduce my review (I'll open a dedicated post if necessary) - I'll edit this review after a long time use. Great camera in so many ways. I find it perfect for tripod photographs (landscape, architecture, night, etc.). I do not express myself regarding action photos as I have not tried the AF thoroughly, although they say it is good. Solid, completely made of aluminum alloy, pleasant to the touch, falls perfectly in the hands. Simple shape, which I appreciate, personally use it at the top (where there is the secondary screen) there is room to place a precision bubble from diameter of 3cm or more. The controls are positioned in a simple and intuitive way: three wheels, 4 screen navigation keys, joystick with center key, 7 perfectly set keys and other keys from fixed functions (each key can have two functions in practice, depending on the pressure time). Set from 1/16,000 to 30 minutes makes Bulb mode almost useless (beware, the display doesn't work very well with shooting times around 10 minutes up, to the point of becoming unusable). The fact that it reaches 30min - the top wheel of time that comes out of the house, makes it a very comfortable camera to use for long exposure photos! A currently negative point is found in the position of the screw thread at the bottom, too far to the side towards the screen which makes it incompatible with the Q Novoflex plates (for example), excellent instead the presence of a second hole for a pin so as to avoid rotation when in certain positions... there are very few compatible plates (Ark Swiss for Leica R). The best system remains to buy the RRS system. It's very good to operate via the Wi-Fi app, which is easy to connect and offers full access to your camera. Maximum operational distance of about 5m if you don't rely on existing Wi-Fi. It replaces the tilting viewfinder/screen very well. There is also GPS but for me a secondary element. The sensor far exceeds expectations, I find it is higher than my old Sony A7s (which despite age is still a reference point) which tends to a strong chromatic noise at high ISOs (while the SL noise remains neutral) and to have less detailed files in all situations (due to low resolution logically). Impressive dynamic range, you get to 50 iso shots in the backlight without going to do HDR (obviously the shot exposed correctly). Perfect battery! Good duration (to be an ML), especially if set correctly. Finally a battery easy to remove/put and also very fast! It is not symmetrical on any side and the absence of the door under speeds it all up, there is still an anti-fall system for when you extract (really well studied) " Excellent room jpeg, already offer a great starting point especially for those jobs where you need a good preview or/and you can/not have time to post produce later. Other small minor goodies that come to mind are the ability to set automatic minimum times based on the focus of the lens (those adapted only if the adapter has the data transmission, in that case they are also manually imported) and the ease of the menu despite being very complete . . . a camera that despite the age still has a lot to say, if taken at full price is not cheap but if used at a good price is still competitive at a good price. Despite being the first model made by Leica (4 years ago) almost nothing is missing (almost because it lacks the stabilization that is still comfortable). |
