Me too, it's my favorite lens, fantastic for photographing people.

Nice, just got this camera in 2022, and couldn't figure out the EC as well without reading the manual. Hadn't guessed you could click the wheel, but it does make sense they made it like this. Very ...

Yeah, that sounds technically rather impossible. For M lenses the light falls on the sensor at rather different angles than the SL mount. If the sensor microlenses will be optimized for M-lenses,...

It would be nice if the SL camera/lenses were smaller, but they'd be another Sony/Nikon/Canon, they have no reason to head in that direction. The bigger lenses allows Leica to differentiate with...

@saxo3 I've no problems focusing 50/90mm on my M9's. Even without magnifiers, but the 1.25x and 1.4x magnifiers do make it easier. Also I don't see how it would take away from the rangefinder...

@mgatov I've used M9's a lot since 2018, no realignment needed so far.

That doesn't make any sense, what would this theoretical hybrid do that the SL doesn't already?

@BrentSchumer, if the pixel size is the same as the M43, ISO noise is going to be the same obviously, even if you use the full sensor. If you want better ISO performance, you need bigger pixels,...

Still if you only use a portion of the A7RIV sensor, and therefore also only a portion of the lens, you're having extra bulk on the larger sensor system that's not being used, but you're still...
