If you need an AF crutch ... The CL is nice.

Ha ha..Well ya know what I'm gonna say. I never liked the DSLR world but my pro worked forced me into it. I started loosing work because I wasn't digital. When I went digital Canon was the only FF option. Coming from 500 C/Ms & Canon F-1s I never loved that shooting experience. All the auto everything. That just wasn't for me. If Leica would have had a FF digital option then I would have gone that route. So I say if you are feeling the way you feel do it. I did and NEVER regretted it.

One thought would be to sell all the AF lenses, keep the SL2s since it's amazing with the m lenses. Then see if I ever pick it up.

My Canon kit has been whittled down to only the R5 + 100-500 (and the cheap RF 50 1.8, but that doesn't count) because the only thing the M system lacks is telephoto past 135mm. And when I use 200-500mm, I want/need stabilization and AF anyway.

And by "SL2s" do you mean you have multiple SL2 bodies, or did you mean you have one SL2-S? I hear the SL2-S is even better for M glass with its BSI sensor.

I recently sold all 3 of my Fujifilm interchangable lens camera's and all my AF glass and manual XF glass, but did keep my X100V since it is awesome and made the jump to Leica M and so very happy I did. This system has really put the fun back in photography for me and slowed me down.

I thought I might miss lenses like my 200 2L but NO..... You don't miss shots you just learn to see different shots.

I have an SL2-S...It plays really well with my m lenses.

This is what I love about the m system, seeing things from a different perspective

As does the CL ... but with much higher pixel density in the sweet spot of the lens.

My telescopes out back imaging the North American Nebula (C20) at the moment so I thought I'd go through a few images while listening to some Robin Trower...

Came across this old abandoned trailer while out today...

I took my car in for servicing and it was going to take a few hours, took my M10M and M9M(the original Monochrom) to do some shooting while walking around town. A pleasant surprise for me was at the dealership.

M9M + 24 Elmar















Lux 50






While walking around town this person arrived by the fountains and ripped off his track suite and jumped in the fountain and started doing dance routines and exercises. I believe he was a fitness instructor/dancer that worked for the city's parks department.

Hip-Shot ... Gal-lery

Badly under-exposed, with an (ooops) exif of 1/750 ... and yet.


Something you can't quite get an appreciation for, just from reading DR charts.
Suffice to say, I'm liking what's under this hood ... torture (ooops) test included.
