Difficult.  Leica CL?

I use other camera makes but mostly it’s when Sigma cameras won’t deliver.  I still use my Sony A7S for low light stuff, people pics etc.  It’s 12  MP and produces some lovely (cinema like) images with Zeiss and Leica M mount lenses.  I’ve used it at concerts and friends’ weddings and had many comments that they prefer my amateur pics to the official photos.  Probably blowing smoke up my backside.

I don’t know why people object to Sony because my A7S is old, small, worthless, 100% reliable, has the original batteries and dead easy to set up.  And it still makes, in my opinion, fab photos where my Sigmas would fail.

for a pocket camera to use in similar conditions as my Sony, the Ricoh GR is superb.

But when the conditions are good, Sigmas are tough to beat.

Hasselblad medium format?  Not small though
