Have you ever used the 75 Nokton? Curious how the Nokton/Ultron compare
I have't used the Nokton. Funny thing . . . when I purchased the Ultron I thoght I was purchasing the Nokton. It was my mistake but I ended up liking the Ulton enough to keep it! haha
I am overwhelmed by the quality of all the Leicas and am adding a SL3, when it comes, to my gear as a "2nd body".
How much post processing do members make to their files. I don't mean to pry, I just am used to shooting Canon dslrs and raw files that require some pp.

Appreciate any feedback.

I haven't used an SL3, only M and Q bodies. The Q2 out of camera DNGs are fantastic, very much suits my style. The colors/clarity look excellent as soon as I import. Personal feeling, but I feel as the M cameras have matured, the coloring out of camera requires more work. The M9 was fantastic out of camera, that is why that body still has a 'cult-like' following, along with the M8, because the colors from the CCD sensor were fantastic. The M10-R had good colors out of camera, but required more work for me than the M9 did. I have recently moved on to the M11, I feel the colors out of camera are the dullest of all and I dislike the most. That being said, I have presets from years back that work quite well with the M11, and have also since added Cobalt emulations into my LR workflow, which are now my favorite edits. The files are built for the M11 and require just a couple of clicks to get the look I want.
Once you have a look you like that works for most files, you can always set that as a preset to load for all images that come into LR and then adjust from there. Saves a lot of time
Congrats on the SL3! I'm looking forward to seeing you post in here.

I appreciate your "take" Ryan. That is what I need!
I am looking forward to the "Users Manual" I ordered prior to the SL3 arriving.
The "presets" are very encouraging.
I look forward to you Leica owners to "coach" me into my correct performance with this body!
Thanks again!
Dan
