I think the Leica Q is 640g and the XT4 (w/o lens) is 607g. A 28mm f/2.8 is 119g.

Whn I ask these questions of myself, I have to decide whether I want something just coz I do and I'm trying to reverse engineer a 'logic' for it or whether a change of gear would transform my life/photos.

I swapped back out of Sony for the latter reason and bought a Leica M10 for the former.

Almost all gear is so comparably good nowadays that it comes down to personal preference most of the time. I like Fuji, I don't like Sony.

I'd like a Q2 but it's not that compact, which puts me off. The lens protudes quite a bit but it, like most Leicas does have a certain X factor about it.

In terms of my xt4 I have a 35mm 1.4 on it as my primary lens which is 300g so total is 904g I guess that’s part of the size and weight concern.

the q I think appealed to me as I liked the original x100 I had but I have always wanted a Leica so I worry it would be getting it because I want it and May regret and think if I wanted something would I have been better off getting an x100v for the money. I blame my dad who had a Leica m4 lol

this is kinda why I’m stuck I worry I’ll buy something else and think wish I bought a Leica or I’m worried counter I buy one and think Jeeze that is overpriced and underwhelming for what I could have got with Fuji
