Following the live feed too. The size amazes me. Personally if I was considering the Leica SL, I\'d really take a look at this X1D as an alternative, but with a much larger sensor. It\'s really exciting. This camera opens a whole new realm in my opinion.
You can have my SL
Hi Edward,
So since the lenses have leaf shutters, does the camera also offere a focal plane shutter? If not then unlesss I am mistaken then MF lenses that would cover the sensor size including what may be many Leica R lenses, then they would not be able to be used with this camera with an adapter. If that is the case, that is and would be a let down.
So, are you now considering getting this camera and getting rid of your SL?
Rich
Yes it seems there is no focal plane shutter unfortunately.
But the lenses are really affordable, smallish, have AF, and having central shutters, they can be used at really low shutter speeds, and practically silent.
I think I found my ideal camera!
Not letting the SL go yet, but if it\'s as good as advertised, I think hasselblad hit a home run with this one.
I don\'t have $14,000 lying around and I don\'t want to sell most of my equipment to fund this. Also there won\'t be long enough lenses avaiilable for Wildlife. So a no go for me. Want to also see what Sony will come out with both in terms of their MF as well as the A9, and the A7rIII. At least with the Sony FF cameras I can still use my M mount and my Leica R lenses. Not sure of with the Sony MF when and if released.
Rich
But of course, Rich! MF is not usually associated with wildlife photography, so definitely FF would be the better option for your work.
I think this camera would be ideal for weddings, street, and landscapes, exactly like the Mamiya 7, which it resembles so much.
Hi Edward,
I used to shoot landscape and nature in 4\" X 5\". Mamiya 7II and Leica R on transparency film for a long time. Still have these cameras, but haven\'t shot film since 2008. Of couse also used the Leica R for wildlife.
Will have to see what comes from Sony. And as we have already mentioned in this thread, at least with the FF digital we are now equal or close to the performance of my Mamiya 7II transparencies.
