Congratulations!
Excellent report, beautiful pics. The cyclist riding in the yellow morning fog and the very last pic are my favorite ones.
I guess I'm a dyed-in-the-wool M user and will thus not get excited about the SL. But it nonetheless seems to be a fascinating piece of technology.
Greetings from Sao Paulo …

David,
Excellent review.
I am a S2 and M240 MP owner.
Im on the fence with the SL.
Still love my S and M system, yet as I get older it would sure be nice to have AF or a good EVF option for my M system.

Simon,

The SL can certainly be used in a studio environment. But you are correct that that you need to turn off exposure simulation so that you don't get a black frame with typical strobe settings. To disable Exposure Preview, just go to the second page of the camera menu and set Exp. Preview to Off. Hope this helps.

Girogo,

The X-U can be submerged to 15m for 60 minutes. 2m shouldn't be an issue whatsoever.

Leica Store Miami should have the cameras in stock very shortly, so you'd certainly be able to get one for your assignment.

is it possible for leica to remove the gray band behind the viewfinder information so as not to obstruct the view of the entire image in the viewfinder for better composition?

is it also possible to introduce a square format?

thanks.
