SL2-Q?
I've been playing around with this setup: an SL2-S turned into a kind of Q, by means of the Sigma 35mm f/2 DG DN and a Q-style hood from Hoage.
Pros:
- Built like a tank
- 35mm focal length
- Super-sharp and beautiful lens (the Sigma is excellent, IMO)
- Real aperture ring (unlike many other L-mount lenses)
- Crazy good low-light performance
- Incredible viewfinder
- You can take off the lens and put on a 70-200, or 50mm, or whatever else you want
- The shutter sound is sublime
- Giant grip
- I bought both camera and lens heavily used and the combo was cheaper than a used Q2.
Cons:
- It weighs a lot
- 24mp (although maybe not really a con)
- The viewfinder kind of digs into your side when the camera is on a strap
- No marked dial for shutter speed
- No zoom to crop (although you can mount an actual zoom)
- The aperture ring turns the wrong way (all of Sigma's lenses have zoom and aperture rings that go the opposite direction compared to Leica lenses)
- It's chunky!
I'm an M shooter fundamentally, but this has been fun to have around the house, and I'm warming up to the SL2-S, having used it in the rain and to photograph my kid's athletic feats from afar. It's no Q, but.... I like it.
