SUPER-ELMAR

SL line and S line are already jointly developed.  L-mount is in a coma already.  If nothing new comes for another year, there will be no one left to sell it to.

You paid too much and sold for too little.  That is on you. I paid 31000 HKD and sold for 32000 HKD after 12 months use.

tutankhamera was specifically asking about a Q.  The point being no money is lost to experience it.

The Leica Q sold for around 4000-4400 USD new here in HK.  Current price for excellent condition is 3000 USD.  Not bad for a 7 year old camera.  One could purchase a used Q today, use it for 6 ...

I have no problems selling original (RAW) if that is what the contract dictates.  They are priced accordingly.  I actually prefer it as I don't waste space storing and processing them.

Those cameras do not exist in a vacuum.  They are cropped FOV based on focal length.  The standard (like it or not) is the 35mm sensor.

I have not been impressed either.  I grow tired of swapping copies trying to find one that's no decentered or can infinity focus.  Their returns are a hassle.

A native Z lens is what the OP is hoping for...thus the thread.

Great series!

The future is higher prices and lower volume.  Hopefully this drives higher quality, intelligent design.

Love the first image!

The thread title and post is about wanting a feathered bokeh Z lens.  While some may be interested in adapted manual focus lens for recreational use, asking for a Z lens implies full compatibility ...

Sure, APSC are crop cameras...which was my point all along.  David Kieltyka tried to suggest 36X24 is crop relative to a very small number of MF cameras.  In reality no one thinks this way as MF ...

Valid points that seem to get lost in the typical measurements on paper tangents that try and demonstrate format A is better than format B.  There are many variables in real world use that get ...

4 months wait from my pre-order.  In Hong Kong.

Those formats (I use too) are so miniscule in number used today they are hardly worth mentioning.  The standard today, like it or not, is 36x24mm.

The 135 has very nice rending but it is not Z mount native.  Most will not want to fuss with a dead mount lens and adapters.

I apply a 2X crop factor to achieve same AOV as FF.  Relatively speaking, a crop camera.

The large local camera shop where I live say they sell equal number body only verses 12-40 kit.  They say many OM-1 buyer are new to M43 and want to a quality zoom to start off with so order the ...

Take a look at the Z 50mm F1.2, the bokeh is more pleasing.  I do not care for the rendering of the Z F1.8 primes bokeh.  Hopefully Nikon make a 85 F1.4 or F1.2 also for Z mount.
