From your thoughts, I wonder if the Leica Q isn't for you. I hear you though on wanting to see outside the framelines, which is an advantage of an OVF over nearly every EVF, with the exception of the Leica Q.

What's different about the Leica Q? And (I'm a bit confused) what is the Leica different from? Are you saying that it's a unique OVF or a unique EVF?

If you're really into that and want the EVF, I can recommend shooting 35mm on a Leica Q2, as the sensor and EVF still "sees" the 28mm view, but captures a jpg with the 35mm crop or records a 28mm RAW with a default crop of 35mm.

Well, for myself, I think I'd go for the Leica if I could justify the price, but it's hard for me. I could do it, but I'd feel guilty about it -- and selling all my Sony stuff to end up with a single fixed prime lens camera seems, well, just a tad crazy, even by my standards.
