I'll try and describe what I mean. First, with the exception of AF mode, the Q works very much like a Leica M. Similar ergonomics, similar controls. Second, since the camera works so much like a M, it fits along with a M body in a variety of typical 2 or 3 lens kits..ie 21mm/28mm(Q)/50mm...28mm(Q)/75mm...28mm(Q)/50mm/90mm. I know that many would rather, just take a 28mm lens, but I find that I often wanted to have AF as an option and so I'd tend to add a AF camera and lens...the Q fills the role of the second camera and the...Show more →
Cal, thank you for taking the time to respond. From your explanation, I can see how the Q could complement an M, especially in settings where one needs to get the shot quickly and assuredly - weddings, birthday parties, political rallies, etc. Autofocus would be a nice option to have in those situations. For me, the biggest limitation with the Q is that it offers one, and only one, focal length, and in settings where you can't walk up to the subject, the Q with its fixed 28mm lens will be inadequate for the situation.
If I sound like I am trying to talk myself out of getting a Q, I am, especially now that I have sold my M9.
Kind regards,
Robert

Edward, nice tones and putting the Sonnar to effective use with the somewhat dreamy look of the portrait.
Thanks for the comments Hilmar and Edward! Hilmar, that's why I kept the first one in colour.
I tried it in monochrome and it just didn't work as well. The others were in monochrome in part for speed and simplicity of processing, but also thought they worked well that way. The last one where they're coming out the door is also nice in colour with very warm, low sunlight as the sun was setting...
Here are a few in colour...
M240 and 21Lux for first two, 28 Cron for the last one.
BTW, has anyone tried the new M240 firmware yet? Version 2.0.2.5. Just got an email from Leica about it...

Thanks again Ron Love the colors as well, but some shots are just meant to be in b/w!
Already installed the FW. No issues whatsoever. I'm not sure there are any real benefits from updating though.

Yes, Ron, the b/w ones do work as well, of course, but I personally prefer the color shots. The most recently uploaded images in color are lovely, in particular those taken wit the Summilux 21. You seem to like deep black tones these days. Very well processed and to my liking.

Ron - very nice wedding photos. I particularily like you PJ style to some of these...
Edward - I agree that the 50 sonnar can be a very nice lens. You are right though that sometimes bokeh can be funky.
Rene - love the simplicity to your last shot! Very nice.
Werner - you make industrial shots seem interesting.
LZ - great work as usual.
Nico - looks like the Q is a good match for you! Is that the FL you typically use for your building/architecture type shots?

Thank you very much Rene, Nico, Gary for the comments.
Philippe, it seems the M is working well for you. You're getting more and more "decisive moments"
Nico, awesome graphic art in your photos as usual. I really like 2, 4 and 7
Gary, I always enjoy your mountain shots. Beautiful scenery and a keen eye for composition.
Canerino, you're always posting these unbelievable kids action shots with your MM. Your focusing/prefocusing skills are way above mine
