Re: Leica Q vs X100v or stick with xt4

I am a Leica M9 user and also owned the X100V for about 6 months. The build quality of the X100V is nowhere near that of Leicas. The X100V is NOT weather-sealed unless you buy a special lens hood/filter kit to attach. I have tested the Q. Just a few comments to maybe consider in your case. The Leica Q is not weather-sealed and many owners report that they have dust issues on the  sensor something that necessitates sending the camera to Germany for service. Also, it is also not really a 28 mm focal length. There are numerous reports on the Internet that the actual angle of view is 26 mm or so. A challenge when you want to photograph humans and avoid distortion.
