When you can relax after posting your notice on three Facebook groups and four Fora, and before you start off to test the SL2, can I ask a question or two?Hi Everybody
Leica have just announced the Q2
here are my thoughts about it.
Leica Q2
All the best
Jono Slack
Robert, I certainly don't want to speak for Jono. Heck, I'm certain I couldn't emulate his accent ...but I am positive the crops are seen in the Q2 viewfinder as a white color crop rectangle/box, much the same one sees in a M camera. It overlays the full 28mm view. Therefore the 75mm box is a small size relative to the entire 28mm field of view, somewhat akin to what one sees when the 90mm frame line is brought up in a camera like the M9, M240 etc.Interesting review, Jono; thanks!
A question about the cropped mode, as I'm a bit confused. When you look in the viewfinder in a cropped mode, do you see all the 28mm view with a white-line box showing the crop (similar to what you see with an M viewfinder), or do you see a magnified view of what would be in the box?
If you see crop lines superimposed on the 28mm view, doesn't that mean that at 75mm there is a tiny box? Doesn't that make it hard to judge what's going on?
Keep up the good work? I wonder what's next

Wouldn't the photography world be boring if everybody had D850-s?Not that much over my D850 with a 28mm lens. Certainly not enough to make me buy it
Is this your default “troll” in every thread? I think everyone underatands by now that you enjoy your D850. It’s a great camera but it’s not for everyone.Not that much over my D850 with a 28mm lens. Certainly not enough to make me buy it
Thanks, it's what I thought. 35mm is OK, the others are a bit small IMO.Leica Q2 manual is online.
Page 92 has image of the "digital zoom" modes: white lines in 28mm view.

Regardless of the preview, a good reminder in JS's review is that while a 35mm crop delivers a 30 megapixel file, the bokeh effect remains that of a 28mm lens. The same point goes with more emphasis at 50mm and 75mm crops.Thanks, it's what I thought. 35mm is OK, the others are a bit small IMO.
I'd advise not selling more than one kidney. So perhaps keep your powder dry until the SL2 has been unveiled and the CL2 rumored.Just what this place needs, a new toy dangled in front of us. I just don't know how many times I can keep selling my kidneys.
But your images do reflect my experience of the country. I also can't get enough of your dog pictures...
You were never going to buy regardless of how good the Leica is ... :facesmack:Not that much over my D850 with a 28mm lens. Certainly not enough to make me buy it
