The Leica Q and Q2 are the solution to this. Try it out.
After using it you will not be keen on smartphone anymore, it is so easy and direct.

Leica has not even released their long planned 24 and 21 mm lenses for the SL. So should they be looking for a new MF offering ?
I doubt it - they have other problems.
Their Q2 was/is very...

Well far less sharp than a prime which offers more brightness and less weight at a better price, probably with metal lens case (see Sigma I series).
Strange to call this “best” when it is really...

A nice lens (with a lot of plastic) but more than twice as expensive as the comparable Sigma zoom.
Nice enough for that price ?
And a macro lens is far better again ... (or any prime)

Primes are clearly better than this zoom. And between 16-35 and 70-200 one or two primes (e.g. 50 and 85) are more useful than this zoom.
And not so ridiculously expensive.

Thinking about it.
It is light, so it is all plastic (to the largest degree). Is this good ?
I usually prefer metal, even if the lens is then often a bit heavier.
So is this Sony BS or is it really...

Selfreflection

Sorry, I found the gallery not special. (Rather a bit disappointing.)
If it was the photographer or the lens I don’t know.
Short: Another useless gallery.

Wait, I just heard Tesla has a similar price increase ...
What are the snarky remarks in this case ?

Why all these snarky remarks ?
You already have a Leica, so no problem. You have no Leica, so even less of a problem, unless CaNikonSony also change the prices.
So the snarky remarks must come from...

When I read the description I get the impression photography was very antiquated and hardly possible before this latest generation of cameras.
In reality I know this is not the case. The...

You all write a lot, you like to hear yourself talking.
So I say it simply again, you still don’t get it otherwise.
800mm ok but not for me. 500 mm great claps, exactly the right time to replace...

Well I think most will come from an iMac. And so will look for the same kind of display.
Why not. And from a marketing POV Apple is fully right. But as a user I feel rather bad to spend so much more.

A 800mm lens is simply not very flexible. A 500 could be used on many more occasions (with extender).
Simply buy it and after some use you will find out for yourself.
But a nice lens, but simply...

At first sight the Mac Studio with M1 max is cheaper than the MaxBook Pro with M1 max. But the display is so extraordinarily costly that in the end it (this combination) is still the more expensive...

Nicely constructed lens, ok price wise. But not too useful.
300mm shorter and one stop brighter it would be exactly the lens I need. (4.5/500)

Btw Chris’s skills ... hehehe

Currently I am happy with M1 max. So why should I worry too much when this update will be available?
4 years is probably just a bad guess and completely unfounded. Why spend the time to write and...

You mixed it up:
The MB Pro has an M1 max and the Mac studio has an M1 ultra (as top version).

A test that seems more useful:
Compare several software programs doing the same (heavy) jobs. Not im/exporting but editing - the typical activity.
This way you would find out which software product...

I do not share the enthusiasm. In very few use cases the ultra is clearly faster.
But for my daily main tasks the differences are almost nonexistent.
So I will wait for the M2 (and maybe M2 Ultra)...
