Where can buy leica SLR,
Or good compact model?
Title: Re: any Leica user ? reporting in
Post by: davidtth on August 31, 2012, 08:27:29 AM: Leica dun make any SLR anymore, last model was R9 using R lenses.

Is either Leica digital M like M8/9/9p/9M, using M lens or those compact Leica made by Panasonic such D-lux 5

Post by: chrisyen on August 31, 2012, 09:23:41 AM: Leica slr not as good as canon n Nikon
Title: Re: any Leica user ? reporting in
Post by: takashi78 on August 31, 2012, 10:17:58 AM: Not true, you have the Leica S2.
Medium format i think?
Title: Re: any Leica user ? reporting in
Post by: davidtth on August 31, 2012, 11:47:45 AM: yup S2 is a Medium format camera, is kind of SLR but way beyond normal SLR, cost at least 60k above for standard kit

do drop by Leica Store near to KLCC
Title: Re: any Leica user ? reporting in
Post by: chrisyen on August 31, 2012, 01:00:52 PM: Nikon n canon dslr sapu the market, even most profesional using them, Leica not selling product but life style instead
Title: Re: any Leica user ? reporting in
Post by: JayJay on September 07, 2012, 10:25:33 PM: Interested to buy leica x2 any comment
Title: Re: any Leica user ? reporting in
Post by: zen on September 10, 2012, 07:55:08 PM: Leica M1 reporting in, can ka? Still keeping this babe.
IMHO, Leica were damm good on M body series (previous owned M6) and M lenses but not R series body (previous owned R3, R4, R5, R6, R8) and lenses. I have bought both series for my work and sold it after a few years.
For fast and convience, I always prefer Nikon or Canon, for blow up with details I prefer hasselblad and for architecture and interior I prefer large format. But I'm still using Leica lenses or hasselblad carl zeiss lenses once in a while with adapter and fix it on my nikon. You can have the fast n convinence of Nikon body and leica or carl zeiss lens quality pic. Who said you can't have best of both world :Laughing_on_floor:
In my opinion, it is not worth buying Leica compact since the quality is almost the same as Fuji or Panasonic. More like you are buying a "Red Dot" only. :Dancing_banana:
Just sharing my experience.

Still in great working condition except that one of the internal brass cogs had lost some teeth. In such a sexy metallic silver colour I couldn't let it go though, so I bought another m5 in Black! while i find someone who can repair my silver leica. It pairs excellently with my 50mm 1.4 summilux.
