Hmm..two weeks ago you were getting a Fuji and now you want us to do the work on your selection of a Leica M digital.
What cameras have you shot? What camera are you now using? What type of subjects do you shoot? What focal lengths do you prefer?
Personally, if I were going to have only one camera, I would pick up a used Hasselblad X2D and a 38v lens, but that is what I prefer over the Leica, or Fuji offerings. X2Dii is even more flexible. This has everything to do with the type of shooting that I do. There are even less expensive ‘P’ lenses. Now we find out that you shoot fast moving kids. Well, the kit above in X2D isn’t ideal, but the X2Dii might be.
So, before asking others to select something, or A/B cameras, provide more information and do the legwork of educating yourself about these cameras. It isn’t hard, YouTube is full of videos and written evaluations exists.
Yeas, that true. I have big problems choosing my camera. I will only have one camera, and I have always wanted a Leica. I choose Fujis because I thought that I could get the Leica out of my mind, but having tried them and having sold a few things here at home, I think it is time to get the camera I always wanted. The first choice was the M10, but then I discovered the M10-P, and when some of you suggested the M10-R and saw the prices of that one and the M11 then the problem became evident. So yeah, here I am.
And trust me, I have done the research, but YouTube is full of reviews on the day the camera is released and there are very few real reviews from people who have been using them. So that is why I ask here.
I have seven Leica ‘M’ cameras and lots of other cameras. I’m old and have been shooting since I was in my early teens. Leica is just another camera brand. You seem to be considering an ‘M’ camera vs other Leicas, so why not buy a real Leica? Do what I did with my first camera and buy a Leica M3. When the M3 came out, Leica was unique and innovative. The viewfinder was amazing and the feel great. Lots of B&W stock is available. The sound of the mechanical shutter is perfect. The lens is, of course, a 50mm. That goes unsaid. Put Ektar, or Portra 160 in and you have 24-40MB resolution with the proper lens. It was the main camera that I used to shoot my kids. I just purchased another couple of ‘M’ film cameras. Yes, I have an M11, the Monochrom, which I consider to be one of the finest cameras made. Leica’s series of monochrome cameras is another innovation, like the M3. Whatever you do and whatever you shoot..which seems to be immaterial to you..your idea of buying used is perfect, because you might find Leica to be special, but at some point it might just be another camera.
