Since I know there are some people here using both Leica M and S (and I do the same), I am interested how much you use which one, for which occasion and which reason.
Here is my take:
S2 for:
+when max. IQ is required
+when I use Tele
+has the advantage of exact framing with the nice viewfinder
+precise AF
-limited for good light or flash
-big (lenses)
M for:
+more casual shooting
+lenses are maybe "less perfect" but than more different charactera (like for example Noctilux, or 85 Sonnar,...
+draws less attraction
The "problem": even the S2 IQ is even better the IQ from the M9/MM is allready so good that I sometimes question if the M would not be all I need.
(I dont need 36MP and I dont need lens shutter since I dont do much flash).
But then if I take the S2 I allways seems to be rewarded.
So how do you guys share the "work" for those 2 systems?
