I want to like this but other than the form factor, given that they have the same sensor, I'm struggling with why one would not just by an SL3 with an adapter for M lenses. It's weather sealed, it focuses the same, and it has more features with a longer-lasting battery. It's also significantly less expensive, particularly on the used market.
Well that is I settled on for my solution.
When I want AF I have the amazing APO-SL 3 primes set for when I want the absolute best IQ possible.
The ability to use long FL Zooms with AF when I need those.
I have adapted M lenses when I want the smaller size and near perfect ergonomics in MF lenses available, with options for near perfection to high character lenses.
When coupled with a standard M It makes for a uniquely powerful option filled system.
I bought 100% of my SL system and a significant number of my M system used, so pricing was much more reasonable as well.
I can do everything I want with those two options except really fast action. For that I have the Sony A1 and GM Zooms. But honestly I am down to using that just a few times a year.
