    If you have no plans on collecting Leica lenses or just the experience of owning a full frame "Made in Germany" that is designed for 2015 then this is it.

    Price tag is very reasonable for a Leica.

    The Q reminds me so much of the RX1. My cousin lent me his when we went traveling to Europe and boy it took some stunning photos. $4K is crazy expensive considering you can get the RX1 for $2K brand new. Then again its a Leica.

    Hi EmerA, yes I'm ok with it. It has an in-camera ability to crop to 35 and 50mm at the expense of MP. or you can do it in post. colors are fantastic, dynamic range is much greater than any Fuji i've ever tested and owned. focusing is fast. downside is the video, but i didn't buy that camera for that purpose. ask away if you have questions

    Hi guys, just sold my X-E2 as I am planning to get another Leica. I have a Dlux 109, and I am looking for additional zoom that is why I am inclined to the Vlux 114. Somebody suggested I should get the Q first? Need help....

    I've never imagined getting a Leica. It's expensive, and stocks are sometimes scarce. Besides that, I haven't really used anything these past few years other my S Series phones which are very capable. I barely used my X-T4 that I had for 2 years, but here we are. I really hope to shoot more from now on.
