Lumix S1Rii from the perspective of a S5ii owner

That is an interesting idea. Food for thought. But I very seldom shoot at F8.

Here is a shot with the Leica Q3 43. Only Lighroom 6. Jpeg ooc.

F2.0 and 200% crop. The AF was on the eyes, so not exactly the Polo logo on the baseballcap.

For a 43mm lens @F2.0 this is very impressive. 200% is huge. It is difficult to adjust to "normal" lenses, if you can crop so much with such a lens.

Wow! Amazing detail. You are NOT helping me resist my temptation to get a Leica APO lens. Or, for that matter, a Q3.

But yes, I completely understand that if that's the kind of detail you are after, the 28-200 Will Not Do. And, particularly since you like to shoot wider apertures.

Cheers.

The forum software makes the image quality of that screenshot slightly worse. Generally I do not need that much detail. But this helps a lot, if you only have one lens and need to crop a lot. This is why I bought the Leica Q3 43. With that lens quality, I can replace focal ranges up to 90mm just with cropping the image. Depending on the output maybe even more.

As far as I remember, the Leica Q3 with 28mm was not that good. But I would need to test that more. I sold it immediately again, because I was not that much impressed with the 28mm.

The Sigma 28-70/2.8 DG DN is also very good. Of course not as good as a FFL, but at 70mm I am really impressed. The wideangle is not as good as the 70mm with my item, but "good enough".

The Sigma 50/2.0 DG DN comes close to the Leica 43mm. Maybe it is as good as the Leica. I need a 60MP sensor to compare it better. I only have 24MP.

Time for an SL3!

Time for an SL3!

a) too expensive
b) I do not like the body design
