I mean...you could just buy the 1.8 lenses instead of the 1.2's.
Yes, and actually it's a very good suggestion, but are the 1.8 lenses as good as the Leica lenses?
I could rent a Leica Q3, but where i live it costs an arm and a leg to rent one.
Are the Nikon Z 1.8 lenses as good as the Leica lenses? As a user of both systems I would have phased that differently. The Leica lenses are smaller than the Nikkor lenses, we can say that, but here are the relative MTF charts for the $9,945 Leica APO- Summicron ASPH, and the $467 Nikkor Z 50/1.8 S lens.
MTF charts are certainly not everything, but Nikkor Z lenses are more than competitive than anything Leica has ever made.
