Not canon R, not Sony after A7R2. Other than that, I used camera from Leica SLx, Nikon Z6/7/8, Panasonic S1/5x I/II, Fuji GFX50S/100S/100II, Hasselblad X1D 1/2.
But that doesn’t really mean much to you anyway as you like the experience. I found most MF feature gimmick, distractive that not a fun to use. Initially interesting? Maybe, but die down quickly to go back fundamental implementation. johnvanr wrote: zhangyue wrote:
And TBH, I never used any of Nikon’s MILC fancy MF feature or FUJI gfx1002 MF feature. Either peaking or zoom, that is it. (Do use DSLR focus aid a lot before because no peaking in VF)
I fail to understand the dramatic response here too. I feel many nonsayer are never meant to be the market of a brand new Leica M camera. (Some exception for sure)
TTartsan or 7art M camera? What are we talking about?
I will not buy it in short term but I can see this can be a fun camera to use. For zone focus street, you don’t need any MF, just muscle memory is enough at f8. None MILC other than Leica are truely compatible with M glass. This is really the first one.
Have you ever actually tried M lenses on other cameras? With exceptions, I find my lenses work well on some of my cameras.
I'm not asking about the overall experience, but wondering about the experience you based this comment on: "None MILC other than Leica are truely compatible with M glass."
Everybody keeps saying that M glass is horrible on other sensors, but I've found that generally it can be fine.
Depends on the lens, but as can be seen from many of Fred's M lens tests on Sony bodies, there can be significant impacts to IQ in the corners and/or midframe on an unmodified Sony sensor (or any other non-M sensor). If you're just shooting portraits wide open with the subject's eyes in the center of the frame, then yeah, you'll see little impact.
I'm pretty happy with M lenses on my M-M5, though, since problematic corners are cropped out.
