'I don't shoot for quality, I shoot for art'.
The film mantra.

The Leica Q is totally 'worth it' if you go buy yourself a used one.  There isn't a Leica camera out there I would buy new, they're all overpriced.  I've owned an M8, M240 and now an SL and bought ...

Nice pic!  Always fun to use old lenses on new cameras.  My only critique is it looks like you overdid the Clarity slider in Lightroom...

'it was as if Leica's had all of a sudden become accessible to everyone who wanted one...'
You obviously have never owned a real Leica (no, not a Panny rebadge).
Agree with everything else you said...

Not even close....the latitudinal range is nothing compared to the dynamic range of modern FF cameras. Combine that with the resolution of a modern sensor and going to Ektachrome is a step...

I've always been intrigued by this spot but in recent years I've seen literally thousands of images all of the same subjects...to be honest it's kind of ruined it for me. I feel much the same way...

Reminds me of my Nokia 6190 in 1998....it came with a piggyback 'surfboard' module to allow analog capability and not just digital TDMA.....ah....I'm showing my age...

You already answered your own question....the difference isn't enough for you to spend the money. Medium format has always been about 'next level' quality....if your work doesn't require it then...

Nokia N95??? Never heard of it...interesting.

@TMHKR - Name a phone that had a better camera in 2007....waiting.

Umm....maybe because in 2007 when this contest started iPhone was the best mobile phone for photography....and that the awards are literally called iPhone Photography Awards. Stop your whining and...

What are you talking about? A weak sensor?? Name another camera the size of the RX100 with a better sensor. I bought an RX100iii for casual snapshots, family pics etc when I don't feel like...

Soft wide open? Clearly you didn't look at the photos.

Stevi23 - You're mostly right about this that it is typically wide angle lenses that cause issues...but generically speaking he was right the Sony's don't perform as well, even on some longer focal...

I would argue more SL owners will buy this lens then M owners. The SL was made for lenses like this...

This is an M lens in name....but IMO it is much more useful (and easier to focus) on the SL. Even Leica recognizes this as I've seen promotional material showing it mounted to the SL.

1 out of 10 in focus is a function of the user...not the lens. The SL has a great EVF but nailing focus on a fast lens of this focal length is not easy.

Makofoto - Thanks for proving my point...you posted a grainy, soft image.

I can literally not think of a camera I would want less then this one. Absolutely terrible.
