Adam, first thanks for all that info, you're great!
After a couple of days, how do you feel overall? Is image worse/better than M240?
Any obvious problems, freezing, sd card issues, slow etc?
How would you compare it to M240+28 Cron? Keep up your great work man!
And thank your beautiful wife
Thanks, sorry I'm not more scientific about this.. I'm going to be shooting all day today though
I don't think the IQ is worse then the M, but I'm so use to the M, that the Q seems to lack vibrancy and bite. Be it from the lens or sensor i'm not sure (could also be LR problems).
If I compare it to the 28Summicron, I do favour the cron, but again, it's just because I'm use to the M240 sensor. Keep in mind I favoured the 28cron on the M9 for the longest time, simply because I used the 28cron on the M9 so often, I couldn't really get use to it on the M240.. Now the Q will just need time.
My initial impression is that you couldn't replace the M240 but the Q could replace the need for a 28mm lens on the M240. And if you were into black and white street shooting, the Q is pretty fun, even manual focusing and high iso is insanely pleasing. I think Leica must have tweaked the sensor to remove color noise at higher ISOs??
Overall I feel the AF is far better then I expected, though I did run into a few problems where it's AF box was bigger then the area I wanted to focus on, so I got "approximate" focus. Like for instance the whole head in the box so it was sharp on the hair. Which isn't to bad with a wide angle lens, but if the AF box was smaller, it would have worked out better.
