      It's essentially a modern MATE with a camera attached. The 50mm view is at 15MP, slightly lower than the MM v.1 and a slightly-faster-than 50 Summicron.

      35mm is already 24 MP.

      It's a fast angle tri-elmar (FATE) attached to a sensor. At 28mm, full resolution, 35 @ 24MP and 50 @ 15MP. Exceptional to adequate

    Hi everyone – I'm a newbie to this forum (as of this week), but not new to the joys of the mirrorless Leicas.

    I've owned a Q for almost 2 years and love its simplicity & output. But I've had a few Voigtlanders to use with a Fujifilm X-H1 and thought they would be better utilised on a full frame mirrorless – i.e. Leica SL. After a few dealings, I…[Read more]

    Having owned a Leica Q for 2 years and really loving it, I bought a pre-owned SL during early lockdown. This was because I had a few Voigtlander lenses which I used with a Fujifilm X-H1 – and I wanted to make better use of them. What an understatement that is! The Voigt 21mm f3.5 (M) and Voigt 58mm f1.8 (F) are exceptional and so relatively easy…[Read more]
